The sheriff’s office on Monday announced three arrests for sex offenses against minors.
None of the cases are related, according to the sheriff’s office. All came after extensive investigations.
Andre Delmas Shipman, 26 of 5640 Silver Spoon Rd., Whiteville was charged with second degree forcible rape and probation violations after an incident that was reported Dec. 30. His bond was set at $100,000 secured. Shipman was alleged to have raped a 17 year old female. He was taken into custody at the detention center March 1.
Glenn Curley Moore, 55, of 43 Five Points Dr., Chadbourn, was arrested on charges of indecent liberties with a child. His bond was set at $5,000. Moore is alleged to have molested a female child on at least two occasions, when she was seven and ten years old. The victim knew Moore, according to the sheriff’s office.
Although Moore was previously convicted of sex charges, his name is not listed on the N.C. Sex Offender Database.
