A woman is recovering from a traumatic kidnapping incident that occurred on November 1, 2022. After meeting a friend to discuss bitcoin, she was returning to her Porsche Macan parked at Yonge Street and Steeles Avenue when a Kia SUV pulled up. An armed man in an orange hoodie exited the vehicle and forcibly grabbed her. Despite her screams and struggles, a Good Samaritan attempted to help but retreated when the kidnapper fired a gun in his direction.

In her victim impact statement, the woman, whose identity is protected, described the traumatic experience. "The sound is imprinted in my brain, in my ears, at random moments," she wrote. The kidnapper, referred to as "orange hoodie guy" during the trial, took her phone, changed her password, and disabled her location services. To silence her, he struck her in the head with his gun.

Keyron Moore, who drove the getaway car, was also armed. Moore, a refugee from Grenada, had fled gang violence in his home country. During a gas station stop, he entered the backseat and demanded sexual acts from the victim. She testified, "I told him I don’t want to do that. I told him that I’m cooperating." Moore threatened her, saying, "If I don’t do it, he’ll shoot me," to which she replied that if he shot her, she could not cooperate.

After hours of being duct-taped and driven around, Moore brought her to a home in Barrie. There, she encountered three young men with weapons who demanded $1 million in cryptocurrency. They believed her ethnicity and car indicated she had money. The situation escalated into torture. "They burnt my hair, and they burnt the bottom of my feet," she testified. "They hammered my feet and then they hammered my hands … they were bashing."

The victim described the physical and emotional scars from her ordeal. "The pain was intense," she recalled, noting lingering joint pain and potential nerve damage from the repeated blows. Her captors forced her to call people, asking, "How much is your life worth?" They also threatened her with a syringe they claimed contained heroin, asserting they could kill her with one injection.

After enduring hours of torment, she managed to loosen her restraints and escape to a neighbor's house, where 911 was called. Following a trial, Moore was convicted in March of kidnapping with a firearm, forcible confinement, sexual assault with a firearm, and reckless discharge of a firearm. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his actions, which Justice Michael Townsend described as "horrific, degrading, violent, and disgusting."

More than three years later, the victim continues to struggle with the aftermath of her experience. "I don’t go outside alone. The fear is too overwhelming," she stated. "I feel like I have a target on my back, like someone is always watching, waiting for the right moment. My heart races at the thought of being approached, followed, or taken." She expressed that even seeing headlights at night triggers panic, making her feel as if she is reliving the traumatic event.
