An Oregon man was arrested on Tuesday, Feb. 27, and brought before a Multnomah County judge for the rape of a woman over 20 years ago.
He pleaded not guilty in court on Wedensday.
Citing court records, Fox 12 reports he told investigators he doesn’t know his alleged victim.
According to the paper, Moore has been convicted of 10 felonies and four misdemeanors in three states, including Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming.
“It’s not in his character to do something like that,” she said. “But, if he did, I’m a mother myself and I would want justice done, whether it was years later or not.”
She told the station that her father has lived in Portland for the last six years, and before that in Wyoming.
While Multnomah County, which encompasses Portland, hasn’t said how many rape kits it had in its store rooms, when combined with Marion and Lane Counties, the number reached almost 2,800.
Moore is being held in the Multnomah County Detention Center and is due back in court on March 8, The Oregonian reports.
