KALAMAZOO, MI — A Kalamazoo woman pleaded guilty Tuesday to three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct that were a result of performing sexual acts on a 9-year-old girl, recording video of those acts and sharing those videos over the internet.

As part of the plea agreement with the Kalamazoo County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Shannon Renee Moore, 35, has agreed to testify against Peter Casey II, 28, in a related yet separate trial that is scheduled for March 11 in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court.

In addition to testifying against Casey, Moore has agreed to be sentenced to a minimum of 20 years and maximum of 35 years on each of the three charges, Kalamazoo County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Scott Brower said.

Those sentences will be served concurrently, meaning at the same time.

“We are glad that she is taking responsibility for her actions. Obviously, she will be sentenced to prison for a very lengthy period of time, which is what needs to happen to people who do things like this,” Kalamazoo Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Getting said.

“Reaching resolutions in cases like this is always a balance between making sure that there is accountability and protecting the victim from further trauma. I believe that we reached that balance in this case with cooperation of the child’s father and aggressive prosecution."

Casey, who was Moore’s boyfriend at the time the crimes were committed in March 2019, is accused of ordering Moore to perform the acts on the child, record them and send them to him via Facebook Messenger and text message.

At his preliminary hearing Nov. 14, 2019 in Kalamazoo County District Court, detailed extractions of the messages between Moore’s and Casey’s phones were submitted as evidence by Kalamazoo County assistant prosecutor Aubrey Koches.

Michigan State Police Detective Kyle Bowers testified at the November hearing that Casey had, along with other graphic material, a minimum of nine pornographic videos, involving varying types of penetration of the young girl, saved to his phone.

Casey faces charges that include one count of first-degree criminal sexual assault on a person under the age of 13, one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct on a person under the age of 13 and one county of aggravated sexual abuse on a child.

He will also stand trial on one count of possession of sexually abusive material involving a child, one count of using a computer to commit a crime, and one count of using the internet to communicate a crime with another.

The Coldwater Computer Crimes Unit arrested Moore in May 2019 after investigating a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. At the time of Moore’s arrest, Casey’s phone, along with her’s, was seized by police. Casey was arrested later, on Sept. 25.
