The allegations against (Moore) go against the ethics and values of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces.

In all, Moore entered guilty pleas to all six charges he faced. He was released on bail until his sentencing hearing next month. It is unclear whether that means he will continue his work with the military, but up until his Friday hearing, the department of national defence says “he continued to be an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces performing general duties; not as a Military Police officer.”

Moore’s lawyer told the court that the veteran of the Afghan war — he was deployed from October 2009 until May 2010 — “is a 42-year-old man of previous good character, working in London for the Canadian Armed Forces and security services.”

In a statement, the department of national defence said “the allegations against (Moore) go against the ethics and values of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces.”

The statement offers few details and would not confirm the exact nature of the charges, noting “as this matter is now before the courts, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

Neither the department nor International Affairs would comment on Moore’s future in the Canadian Armed Forces.
