Harold “House” Moore is going to prison for child molestation, according to Gwinnett Daily Post. The actor was convicted Friday of violating a 15-year-old girl in Gwinnett County. Moore, who had reportedly been playing Dr. Dre in a forthcoming Tupac Shakur biopic, is facing five to 20 years in prison. According to the site,

the jury returned its verdict after more than nine hours of deliberation, finding him guilty of sneaking into the girl’s bedroom and touching her early in the morning on Nov. 25, 2012, according to a news release from the Gwinnett district attorney’s office.

Defense attorney Shannon Briley-Holmes has already prepared a motion for a new trial. The document is critical of Judge Timothy Hamil’s decisions on the bench.

One point she said she took exception to was Hamil allowing the state to refer to the victim as a “victim” in court.

“The Court stated words to the effect of, ‘The State will call the victim whatever it wants to,’” Briley-Holmes wrote in the motion. “Really? Could the State call the victim Mother Teresa?”

Moore testified during the trial, which was prosecuted by Nigel Lush, and maintained his innocence, but the defendant couldn’t explain why the girl would falsely accuse him, said Dan Mayfield, chief assistant DA.

The victim, whose connection to the defendant wasn’t released, made an outcry to a friend immediately after the crime. Gwinnett police Cpl. Ben Ervin of the special victim’s unit interviewed the victim and Moore.

Moore is known for his appearance on “Single Ladies,” “CSI” and Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne”.

    The defendant could not explain why the girl would falsely accuse him so that made him guilty. My sister was dating a guy who was one of the nicest people you ever want to meet and his family as well. My sister’s 14 yr. old daughter went to his brothers house for a sleep over with his daughter and friends when the brother came in from work late the girls were on the living room floor sleeping. As he walked pass the girls they were all in pajamas and covered except my niece so he reached down and covered her up as he passed by. My niece told her mother he molested her and he was arrested. He lost his job and his life was turned upside down even though all the other girls said “they didn’t see or hear anything go on.” Later my niece confessed she lied and when asked she said “she didn’t know why she lied.” I am not saying wether he s guilty or not but nowadays these children lie for the heck of it because they have no cognition of the ramifications of their actions and too many of them are looking for attention. If it is not true I hope he is exonerated and able to continue in his career.
