ELEANOR MOORE'S SHAMEFUL CRIMES IN FINTONA: PAEDOPHILE EX-CARE WORKER REPEATEDLY BREACHES BAIL AND POSTS VICTIM'S PICTURE AHEAD OF HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY

In July 2023, a disturbing case involving Eleanor Moore, a woman from Fintona, has come to light, revealing her continued defiance of legal restrictions and her brazen attitude towards her past crimes. Moore, a former care worker and mother of two, was convicted of sexually abusing a teenage boy and has since demonstrated a blatant disregard for the law and social norms.

Despite her conviction and the imposition of strict bail conditions, Moore has repeatedly been caught in contact with her teenage victim, breaching her bail at least five times over the past year. Her actions have raised serious concerns about her ongoing influence over the boy and her refusal to adhere to the restrictions placed upon her. The court had previously ordered her to avoid any contact with children under 16, to refrain from sexual communication, and to sign the sex offenders register for five years.

Moore’s criminal history includes a January sentencing where she was handed a three-year probation order, a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (Sopo), and was required to register as a sex offender. Remarkably, just two days after her court appearance at Dungannon Courthouse, she posted images of herself with the victim on social media, specifically on January 22. These images depicted the pair together and were shared publicly, despite her legal restrictions. Her mother also posted a message online defending her daughter, claiming that social services and the victim’s parents were aware of their contact and that they were not allowed to be alone together. The mother expressed her distress over the situation, stating that her family was “wrecked” by the affair and mentioning that the victim would turn 18 in July.

In the days following her sentencing, Moore continued to flaunt her relationship with the teenager. She uploaded a bizarre dance video to TikTok and Facebook, in which she performed in her kitchen with her middle fingers raised, singing lyrics that insulted her critics and declared her indifference to her haters. The video was accompanied by a caption directed at her detractors, further illustrating her defiant attitude.

Her repeated breaches of bail conditions have not gone unnoticed. In early 2023, Moore was remanded at Omagh Magistrates’ Court after being caught multiple times with her victim, despite the restrictions. She was taken into custody after her bail was relaxed over Christmas, allowing her to socialize, which she exploited to contact the boy. During her court appearances, she admitted to sexual touching and communication with the minor, knowing he was under 16, between November 2020 and February 2021. Social services had flagged concerns about her engagement with the boy as early as 2022, and police investigations confirmed ongoing inappropriate contact.

Moore’s actions have been met with widespread outrage, especially after her social media posts and her blatant disregard for court orders. When approached by journalists before her latest court appearance, she lied about meeting her victim, denied her identity, and fled the scene, threatening the reporter with profanity and her associates making threats in her defense.

Her case continues to draw attention due to her unrepentant attitude and the apparent lack of consequences for her actions. The community and social media users have expressed outrage over her leniency, questioning why she has not received a harsher sentence. The case remains under review, with authorities considering whether to appeal her previous probation and sentencing decisions, as her conduct suggests a continued risk to the safety and well-being of children in her community.
