YOUNGSTOWN — Taylor A. Moore, 32, of Boardman, has again asked for early release after being sentenced to 18 months in prison Sept. 25 in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court for thefts totaling more than $14,000.

Moore is scheduled for release from prison March 22, 2026, according to prison records. She has served more than seven months of her sentence and was denied the first time she asked in December.

The type of release she seeks is called judicial release, which can be approved by the sentencing judge.

On her first try, she stated in a handwritten filing that she had served about 100 days in prison and saved $1,580 toward the approximately $14,000 in restitution she was ordered to pay for three separate criminal cases for which she pleaded guilty in April 2024 before Judge Anthony D’Apolito.

Moore pleaded guilty in three theft-related cases involving a handful of low-level felony convictions for theft and forgery.

In one of the cases, victims paid money for furniture that Moore never provided. Moore was ordered to pay restitution of $1,714 to one customer, $1,662 to another customer and $2,700 to another customer. In another case, a woman paid $2,831 for furniture Moore never provided.

A third case involved $5,701 in two checks Moore deposited with a bank that were fraudulent and had been altered, Katherine Jones, county assistant prosecutor, said last year. The bank paid the money and Moore never repaid it. Moore also did not make restitution to the other victims.

“She stole from vulnerable individuals and exploited the trust of others, leaving behind a trail of financial and emotional devastation,” Jones said at Moore’s sentencing hearing last September.

The Vindicator was unable to obtain a copy of the request for judicial release Moore filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on June 24.

But in Moore’s December request, she wrote that she had taken several classes in prison called “criminal thinking,” “money management” and others, and felt the money management class was the most important because “my neglect to my clients / customers, as well as me not knowing how to properly run a business and ultimately my choices are what got me here.”

Moore’s name first came to the public’s attention when Boardman officials came down on her and others over a Memorial Day party they threw at a home on Glenwood Avenue in the township during the summer of 2023 that frustrated neighbors. A common pleas court judge banned her and others from hosting any more parties.

Later she was indicted on theft involving a furniture store on Mahoning Avenue in Austintown in which she put items on her website that were from a store in Liberty Township, taking money from buyers and not delivering the items.

In another case, she was accused of forging two checks at a bank in Austintown and getting money from them.

Jones filed a written response to Moore’s most recent request for judicial release, stating that the county prosecutor’s office would “stand silent” as to whether early release should be granted or not.

Jones stated that Moore owes restitution of $14,609, but “based on the history of these cases and (Moore’s) prior behavior, the State has significant concerns regarding the likelihood of restitution being paid.

“There is a pattern that suggests compliance with financial obligations has not been a priority for the defendant,” Jones stated.

Moore’s attorney, Robert Harvey, has requested an oral hearing to discuss the early release, but no hearing is scheduled yet.
