In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Brandon Moore and his fearless daughter, Madalyn, who survived years of sexual abuse and molestation from their neighbor, Sean Foster. Brandon and his family viewed Sean as a close friend. They lived next door to each other, but so many secrets hid in the short distance between their two homes.
Brandon learned Sean was molesting Madalyn, so he set up his own sting operation and caught Sean in his house heading to the shower where he believed Madalyn would be. The entire incident was caught on camera. He was arrested and charged with burglary and several counts of indecency with a child.
He was convicted, and in April 2016, sentenced to 55 years in prison. He appealed the conviction and argued that special issues brought up during the trial caused him “egregious harm.” The appeals court affirmed the guilty conviction.
Let’s look back at the case involving one father’s mission to catch his daughter’s predator red-handed, and Madalyn’s strength to speak up about what happened to her.
father of the decade
"The 400 pound pervert"
Maddy is incredible for speaking with such clarity and strength at only 16.
Why would she still talk to him when he did all that? At 9 years old I’d have let my parents know instantly.
I am in NO WAY excusing his disgusting behavior toward an underage girl. That being said, the way this was taken care of was sloppy, and laughable.
Who's Holidays???
The guy looks like a pedi
Ya the parents dropped the ball obviously if your daughter is worried when that piece of shit was around her something is off
Dude should’ve turned the cameras off.
I def thought this was Gypsy Blanchard at first😭 I was so confused
One thing must be understood, there is NO SUCH thing as an EX MARINE. Once a Marine ALWAYS a Marine. Another thing, Don't mess with a Marine or their family, YOU WILL REGRET IT!! Guess this person found this out the hard way!
This sounds like very naive irresponsible parenting…
Way to go brandon. Setting up that pervert to go to jail i hope your ok maddie
I got chills when Chris Hansen said, "I've caught my fair share of predators." What an understatement! Man is a living legend.
Oh so… protecting your child is vigilantism? 😮
Dad had a lot of control. That pervert's could have been cut off and fed it to him before the police arrived!
Leave the dirty work to his fellow criminals.
These parents are so clueless about all of the warning flags. They are just as responsible for what happened to their daughter as her molester. Totally idiots and clueless.
He doesn't have to murder him, chomos don't last long in prison(maybe except for California prisons, most CA inmates are either okay with pedos or are pedos themselves).
Go dad!!! Thank you for your service!
"This brilliant former marine with a PhD…" How the hell did he not see warning signs?! Its your JOB to protect your kids, not just wait for them to tell you if something is wrong. There were SO many red flags but they didnt follow up on any of them. 5 years! Very disappointed.
Lesson learned dont trust to much 😢
I wish I was half as tough as Maddie
It's not murder if it's justified and this is overqualified to be exempt from being called a murder
First day you meet a stranger and then let him babysit your 9 yead old. Really.
Prison is the best thing! POS.
This was so difficult for any parent and child to go through. Good this pervert is in jail.
I'm usually quite empathetic but the parents are morons. He buys a child skimpy shorts for a job that he's given to her and the parents are too moronic to understand there's clearly a possibility he's a predator. Instead they let her go off with the fully grown man, in the skimpy shorts that he bought her. Come on.
Side note, why would her father give them permission to use his daughter's photos and allow her to be interviewed? She deserves privacy at the very least after such horrific traumas. She can decide herself when she's 18, whether or not she wants her story plastered over the internet.
The father has a P.h.D (😅)
Why did these parents allow him to take her places without them??right there is a HUGE RED FLAG…
What Great man and daddy! Thank you!
Maddy is amazing 😢
The world is full of hidden predators. I agree somewhat that the parents in this instance were at fault but these people are trusting people and the real evil was the perpetrator but what’s if the parent was the predator, the brother or family member.
It’s easy to throw blame but nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors.
I’ve been in a situation where I could never open my mouth and the only option was to run away which I did.
Please people don’t be quick to judge.
The true stories here are great and told so professionally for all to understand be it an intellectual or just your every day lay person but the reality is, in my opinion, made immensely better and more interesting told by Ana Garcia. She is by far the best reporter this century. This woman shows so much passion, emotion, empathy, sincerity and in an overly professional way. Hope she never retires.
I never used to like podcasts but she somehow lures me to watch intently.
I would say beaten to a pulp lol
Wth is wrong with ppl. You meet someone you dont know and let him move in on your family. in these days NEVER TRUST ANYONE. Have THEM CHECKED OUT. WTH
these parents…ugh so many things wrong, as a mother he would be dead at the doctors!
We don't know what life was like for this family and they shouldn't be blamed. Everyone talks about being nice and having respect for everyone. You don't know until it happens to you. My Husband was a Hells Angels and he raped my youngest daughter and I never knew until I left him I knew what he was like and what he was capable of and he had her so scared that he would kill us. I told him I had gotten a job offer at a different hospital and when I knew we were safe I reported him. He was found guilty but only did 6 years and was still in the club I went to see the President of his Chapter/Charter and they took care of him he is no longer alive they don't like people like him but he got what he should have for destroying her life and the world is better off. And yes I'm still friends with the club and even though she has 3 children 2 boys and a girl who are all over 21 she is doing better and I hope that this beautiful girl doesn't let this distroy her life.
Am I the only one bothered that many predators were molested and victimized as children? Clearly, there is some fairly common circumstance that creates predators (and 400 pounds of defensive fat). Whether nature or nurture (e.g., brain injury, hormonal imbalance, bad parenting), we cannot fix what we don’t understand. Blood lust is every bit as hard to control as child lust, so I d be careful in wishing for “justice.”
So freaking disgusting!! Nope!
Parents should never trust neighbors, family or friends. Pedofiles are everywhere, in your own home. IDK how the parents trusted this stranger so much.
All of you are real Heros….i dont know what i would do in your situation….brake his face….
I wish you all the best and you little girl…so strong i think that you is the biggest Hero of all the time. Be strong as your mum/dad….i hope that this nightmare is over for you all and i think that this predator will get a new verdict and punishment in prison….
Best regards from Chris in sweden.
People who have never experienced sexual abuse tend to trust others! The abusers are slick, convincing, determined, and devilish! 😢 I'm glad he got locked up!
Please stop referring to your bottom as your "butt". You're not a gorilla or a chimp.
