Keyron Moore, 39, was sentenced to 13 years in prison after being convicted for his role in the abduction, torture, and sexual assault of a woman identified as A.T. The incident occurred in 2022 when A.T. was abducted at gunpoint in Thornhill and subjected to severe physical and psychological abuse, which included being held for ransom with a demand of $1 million in Bitcoin. After her escape, Moore faced convictions for crimes including forcible confinement and sexual assault with a firearm. The court ruled that he will serve concurrent terms and is subject to a lifetime weapons ban and registration as a sex offender. Moore was also noted to be barred from contacting his co-accused, referred to as S.M., a minor who is set to be sentenced soon. This case is part of a disturbing trend of crypto-related kidnappings, illustrating the increasing risks associated with digital currencies.
