Former Delcambre Police officer gets 60 years for repeated rapes of 5-year-old

ABBEVILLE, La. (KLFY) — A former police officer will spend the next 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to repeatedly raping a 5-year-old, prosecutors said.

Christopher Moorehart will be 92 years old upon his release from state prison after being sentenced by 15th Judicial District Judge Thomas Frederick on Monday. Frederick sentenced Moorehart to 30 years for each of his two second-degree rape charges, to which he pled guilty in February. 

The sentences will be served consecutively, requiring at least 30 years for each.

“I am very pleased with the sentence,” Assistant District Attorney Celeste White said. “This is one of the top two sex crimes I have been a part of. Plus, he is a former police officer.”

Moorehart was charged with raping the five-year-old for months while he and the girl’s mother were dating. The rapes occurred with the girl’s mother also in the bed, prosecutors said.

Moorehart is a former Kaplan and Delcambre Police officer.
