PHOENIX — An Arizona man was sentenced to more than 10 years behind bars last week for sexually abusing a child in grade school, federal prosecutors announced Friday.
A judged sentenced 61-year-old Charles Michael Moreno of Tucson to 122 months in prison to be followed by lifetime supervised release, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.
Moreno pleaded guilty in May 2023 to one count each of sexual abuse of a minor and abuse of a minor and two counts of abusive sexual contact. The plea deal was reached after he’d been indicted on 14 counts of sexual abuse in 2020.
