Busted: Federal agents have so far unearthed 4,100 images of child pornography and child erotica on just one of the more than 500 CDs seized from David Moe's home
During a bail hearing yesterday, Denver prosecutors read out excerpts from the secret 800-page diary of Moe, which he had kept since 1997. Of one girl, Moe wrote, 'Did hold [name withheld by prosecutors] by the waist briefly, and she didn't flinch.' Another record read: 'Had [name withheld] by the hips, and she was fine by that,'. Moe wrote of another little girl entrusted to his care. 'Gave her a kiss on the cheek, and no bad reaction. I love her so much.'
In reply to one of his advances, Moe recalled a girl saying: 'I only let my family tickle me.' To this, he said in his diary: 'She's obviously been coached.'
Prosecutors revealed the journal's existence in a Denver federal court to argue to Magistrate Judge Michael Hegarty that Moe should not be released before his upcoming trial.
But despite all of the chilling testimony revealed by federal agents handling the case, Judge Hegarty seemed skeptical the journal was, as Denver's 9News.com put it in their account of the proceedings, a smoking gun.
