A $100,000 bond was set Monday for a Pine Bluff man accused of inappropriate sexual contact with two minors.

Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Andrick Moore Jr., 18, with two counts of rape.

Reading from an affidavit by Detective Mike Merritt, Deputy Prosecutor Shana Alexander said on Feb. 25, police were sent to an address in Pine Bluff where the mother of the two victims, one age 12, the other age 7 said the 12-year-old told her Moore had touched her inappropriately and hurt her.

The Public Defender’s Office was appointed to represent Moore and he was ordered to have no contact with the victims until the case is settled.
