A self proclaimed satanist, who on social media used the screen name "The Lord of Darkness," has been sentenced to 95-years in prison for molesting three little girls, taking pictures of the assaults and then trading those images online with other child pornography collectors.
Luis Moreno, 31, was charged with 12 counts of production of child pornography, two counts of the receipt of child pornography and two more counts of the possession of kiddie porn.
"This case is especially serious because of the number of victims. He lined them up on the couch and called them back up, one by one," Assistant US Attorney Tracy Thompson tells 1200 WOAI news. "One of the older kids would sit there, knowing what was going to happen to her, but just having to sit and wait until her name was called."
One of the victims told FBI investigators that Moreno would "stick his middle part into her middle part," while the pair were in a room called "the princess room."
The case was a joint investigation by The San Antonio Child Exploitation Task Force involving the FBI and the Bexar County Sheriff's Department.
Assistant US Attorney Tracy Thompson said investigators were originally tipped off to Moreno when they busted another pervert in Indiana. They asked to assume his profile online. That's when agents received dozens of emails filled with illicit pictures from Moreno.
"He has been sexually assaulting these three minor females for six years," she told the judge.
Moreno's mother, Herlinda Flores, testified that her son has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
"He did not have insurance so he could not afford the medication," she told the judge, who later rejected the defense.
The case was difficult for agents because Moreno is basically a drifter who lived in different homes. He did not have a computer. Instead, he created the child pornography using a HTC Mytouch 4g cell phone, a pink Nintendo DSI video game system that belonged to one of the victims and a Hotmail email address. They eventually caught up to him in a seedy apartment on Grayson Street, not far from the entrance to Ft. Sam Houston.
Moreno, who had tattoos of a pentagram and the Grim Reaper up and down his body, has a lengthy criminal history, including Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon in in 1999. He attacked a girlfriend with a samurai sword.
The three victims, who were all attacked when they were three years old, are all in protective custody. Their current guardian told the judge that they received counseling at one point.
"They're doing okay," she testified.
Saw a bumper sticker that said “Disarm Rapists”!
If those were my kids he molested, I would be using a rusty knife to alter his anatomy...slowly and as painfully as I could possibly manage.
I have three daughters and this makes my stomach hurt....
Over a lifetime I’ve known a few severely mentally sick people. None of them did anything to hurt somebody else. I don’t think mental illness should be used as an excuse for hurting others.
The Founding Fathers allowed a plea of guilty but insane. I think they did this because they believed in demonic possession. One example I recall they used was an otherwise pious preacher who had committed some heinous act. Obviously, that wasn’t him doing it, so he could not be held responsible.
Don’t worry. Just put him in General Population, get the word out about what he did, and let nature take it’s course.
he is going to prison for the kiddy porn but NOT the raping of the girls.
What happened to our country?
Is that true Laz or just one of those “lore” things?
Send him to my house. We’d be happy to take him in.
See, we have hogs now and they’ll eat just about anything.
The missing piece of the puzzle is:
We are not jailing him to punish him, but merely to protect society from him, forever...
True as hell, bro.
I know a lot of ex-cons, they tell me what goes on in there. Murderers get respect, robbers are considered medium-respected (the smart ones with a great innovative con can get more respect than the others), druggies are looked down on, anyone who rapes anyone — much less a KID??? — gets raped, and then killed, painfully.
Oh I could hope so....
This makes me so mad...
I thought all day yesterday if these were my daughters!!?
What happened to our country?
He got 95 years, and the girls didn't have to be dragged through court, subject to abusive criminal defense attorney cross examination, have the most intimate details of their shame become public record, be treated like freaks by the press and be grilled, diced, fricasseed and laid bare in a room full of strangers.
95 years.
I can live with that.
He won't.
He videod the proof of raping the 3 year old girls... and they went for kiddie porn?
there was enough proof without making those girls face that scum.
I know I just am letting my anger get in the way of common sense.
Yeah. I feel your rage as well.
But I can live with the outcome, and I’m glad the system didn’t see fit to abuse the girls any more than they already had been.
95 years in gen pop for a child rapist? I think the punishment will fit the crime quite nicely.
“Shooting him isn’t even justice.”
If those were my kids he molested, I would be using a rusty knife to alter his anatomy...slowly and as painfully as I could possibly manage.
May he be released into the general population with full disclosure of his crime, and may he receive an inordinate amount of pain prior to being sent on to judgement in short order.
“he is going to prison for the kiddy porn but NOT the raping of the girls. What happened to our country?”
Charging a criminal is an art form. (Notice how poorly it was done in the Zimmerman case where he was “overcharged” in an effort to force a prison deal.) The kiddy porn laws are very strong. Given laws where the event took place they may have represented a distraction at a lower penalty rate. The defense might have concentrated on that and tried to bargain with the jury. Perhaps something like, “Look, we’ll concede this crime if you’ll give us a walk on the other.” In this case, it appears the prosecutor won.
