Defendant Sentenced for Participation in a Criminal Organization and Violent Incidents, including Sexual Assault
BALTIMORE, MD – Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today announced the sentencing of Corique Moseley, 18, for his role in a carjacking and kidnapping spree that occurred between November 2022 and January 2023. The investigation was led by the Maryland Office of the Attorney General, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Baltimore Violent Crimes Task Force, Baltimore City Police, and Baltimore County Police.
On April 27, 2026, in Baltimore County Circuit Court, Judge Cahill sentenced Moseley to 75 years of incarceration, suspending all but 40 years to serve in prison, with the first 30 years to be served without the possibility of parole – 5 years for each victim involved in the case. Moseley is subject to 5 years of supervised probation upon release and must register as a sexual offender for life.
“Corique Moseley and his co-defendants robbed, assaulted, and terrorized dozens of Marylanders, leaving lasting scars the survivors will carry for the rest of their lives,” said Attorney General Brown. “This sentence delivers justice to the victims whose lives were upended by this senseless violence and underscores that our Office will not tolerate the kind of brutality that shatters lives and erodes the safety every Marylander deserves.”
Moseley was one of six defendants who were responsible for more than 40 violent incidents, including armed carjackings, kidnappings, and robberies occurring in late 2022. The group’s criminal conduct included using rideshare applications, including Uber and Lyft, to lure drivers, whom they then carjacked at gunpoint. Victims were often forced into trunks or back seats while the defendants used the stolen vehicle and rideshare accounts to pick up and rob additional passengers. Some victims were held captive for hours while the defendants drained their bank accounts using ATMs and mobile payment applications.
In December 2025, Moseley was convicted of 31 counts after a six-day jury trial. Evidence presented at trial established that Moseley participated in at least four violent incidents of armed carjacking and/or armed robbery. Witnesses identified him as using handguns to coerce victims into surrendering property. On several occasions, Moseley and his co-conspirators kidnapped victims and transported them to banks or ATMs to withdraw cash, threatening to shoot and kill the victims and their families if they did not comply or if they reported the incident to police.
In one incident, two individuals were carjacked and kidnapped at gunpoint. During that offense, Moseley sexually assaulted a female victim while his co-defendants forced the second victim to withdraw money from several ATMs. Moseley was convicted of third-degree sexual offense by force or threat of force for his role in that incident. The victim reported that Moseley displayed a firearm to compel her to engage in multiple sexual acts and later identified him in a photo array shortly after the assault. Moseley was a minor at the time of the offenses.
All other defendants pleaded guilty.
