Mother Alleges Jacksonville Teacher Manley Moore Sent Inappropriate TikTok Messages To 14-Year-Old
A popular TikTok teacher in Jacksonville, North Carolina, is facing serious questions after a mother came forward with screenshots of what she says were inappropriate private messages between her 14-year-old daughter and the teacher.
The teacher, identified as Manley Moore, reportedly teaches business at Northwoods Park Middle School in Jacksonville. He is also the youth pastor at Marshall Chapel Missionary Baptist Church on Marshall Chapel Road.
Mother Claims Moore Sent Inappropriate Messages
A mother told The North Carolina Beat that she was doing a routine check of her daughter’s phone when she stumbled across disturbing messages that Moore had sent to her minor daughter through TikTok private messages.
He has since deleted his TikTok that had over 200K followers.
The mother, who asked to remain anonymous, showed us 22 screenshots of text exchanges between Moore and the 14-year-old. In some of those messages, Moore allegedly asked the child to delete their text thread.
He also referred to the child as a “Baddie” and at one point asked, “Can I tell you something?” but then followed up with, “Lol no cause you might screenshot me and be like look what Mr. Moore told me.”
The child responded that she wouldn’t screenshot, but Moore insisted that he wasn’t worried about that — he was worried about her running her mouth to everyone. She told him she didn’t talk to anyone. He replied, “Lol yeah you do,” and she answered, “Not no more. Everyone weird.”
“I’ll just say you’re the tea!” Moore said in another message.
The teen replied, “That had 2 meanings sir, which one… someone starts drama and someone is fine shyt.”
“Oh! Both then,” Moore responded.
In another message, Moore told the 14-year-old she would “fit in in Atlanta” with how she looks and her personality. When she said she couldn’t tell if that was a good or bad thing, Moore responded, “A good thing. All the baddies are in Atlanta.”
The messages reportedly began in July over the summer. In one message on July 15 at 8:35 p.m., Moore texted the teen:
“Thanks for keeping me company last night.”
She replied, “For sure unc.”
Moore responded, “Lol dang my bad. I just wanted to make sure. You could’ve been calling me fine a or something.”
He also replied to her TikTok stories. In one, he wrote: “Girl put your tongue in your mouth.” She said, “Yes sir.” He replied, “Good girl,” but claimed it wasn’t meant “in a weird way.”
Flirtatious Comments Allegedly Continued
In another text on July 19 at 8:55 p.m., the 14-year-old told Moore she was back in the gym. He asked:
“If I compliment you, you gonna tell on me?”
She replied, “No??”
Moore then said, “Keep up the good work lol.”
When she said, “I will dww,” Moore replied, “You don’t need it tho.”
The teen said she needed to look like a “Coke bottle.” Moore responded:
“Nah you pressure.”
She said, “Thank you.” He followed with, “I’m serious. And I’m fine before I say something crazy. Forgive me.”
The teen replied that he was always forgiven. Moore then said, “And please delete.”
More Allegations From August Messages
On August 4, Moore allegedly asked the teen if she told someone he gave her an inappropriate comment. She said no. He replied, “You sure?” She answered yes and asked what was said. Moore responded that he wasn’t sure but was asking because “someone said I told a student an inappropriate comment.”
As the conversation went on, Moore said he only messaged her on TikTok and didn’t remember saying anything “weird.”
On August 14, the teen told Moore she didn’t know how many students he was messaging but he should stop because “multiple girls” were talking about it. Moore denied messaging other girls, saying he only texted her and one other girl to send her pictures from school.
Check Out The Screenshots For Yourself Below
According to Moore’s teacher profile on Northwoods Park Middle School’s website, he wrote that he and his wife Jessica have been married for 10 years and share three children.
He also stated that he serves as a CTE teacher at the school and graduated from Elizabeth City State University in 2011.
The mother of the 14-year-old shared with us that Northwoods Park Middle has been dodging their calls and refuse to call them back regarding answers to questions they have about Moore messaging their daughter.
The North Carolina Beat reached out to Principal Shanta Cooks for a statement regarding the allegations. No response has been received as of this publication.

Dude… I used to be in his class and he had a “special handshake” with me and would hug me as a greeting even though I was OBVIOUSLY uncomfortable (I’ve never been one for hugs from GROWN MEN.) and he’d also come and grab my shoulder and like massage it a bit as he spoke to me… He’s GUILTY. The whole thing about him telling her to delete the messages literally proves it, cause he’s afraid that she’ll show people and expose just how disgusting he is. I don’t understand why people are defending him when it’s obviously grooming… It’s really sad to see, especially cause he was an educator and someone we were supposed to trust.
CLOCK ITTTT GIRLLLL
pathetic. amateur moves.
Hey just wanna let yall know im the girl he was talking to and he didnt do nothin wrong and he aint a creep even if he bad #FreeMoore
I don’t regret what I did she is lowk bad and age is just a number yall gay mfs hating on me
wife and 3 kids talm bout some “age is just a number”
I’m here to address this issue, I like really to like this girl and I don’t give a F about age because it’s just a number. Too her mom I’m sorry you have to find out like this, and I promise I’m not a creep or a weird guy, but this is truly how I feel about your daughter, I think she is really nice and a really sweet girl, she is also really beautiful. I promise I will treat her right. Sorry this all played out like this. And remember to tell her to keep her Tongue in her mouth.
This obviously isn’t Mr. Moore. He wouldn’t come on here, plus your grammar is terrible and this entire message is unprofessional. You’re not gaining anything from acting like him. All you’re gonna do is maybe fool one to two people, and for what? Maybe instead of coming on here and impersonating disgusting people for fun, pick your head up and focus in ELA because GOODNESS GRACIOUS your writing is terrible.
just a word of advice u might wanna worry abt age my guy because that is illegal and also that is proving that you are a creep and a weird a*s dude basically a pedophile
now let me get this right first Mr. Moore if this is you are a fake i would like to to see this as a student watching the teacher getting taken out of class by the principle and never coming back my name is keymoni lovick a 7th grade student at northwoods park middle school Jesica Bradly home room the one question all we need to know
IS WHY Mr. Moore WHY DID U DO WHAT YOU DID
This is insane I had him as a teacher last year he was okay I did find it weird that he followed girls on social media apps but I never expected something like this to occur just shows how a lot of good people can be corrupted and indulge in sin I hope he finds the help he so desperately needs ill be praying for him. (Also I’d say this is an example of a wolf in sheaps clothes)
6️⃣7️⃣
hello he is a*s and
First there seem to be a lot of ummm younger people on here who knew/ know the man. I can only give an opinion as I have probably met him hut dont know him.
1. As a teacher and someone entrusted with our kids I have 4… 3 school age there is in my humble opinion never a good reason for a teacher to message a student on TikTok, insta, snap etc. That alone is enough to be a fireable offense.
2. And this is the more important one as it deals with eternity. The word says very clearly to avoid the very appearance of evil. Even if this man’s thoughts were pure and misinterpreted (i dont think they were) but if they were the fact that it gives the appearance of wrong doing is the issue. Especially for a brother in Christ. Not judt a brother but a teacher one entrusted to preach and teach the gospel message. As a minister his life is supposed to be above reproach. I feel.for this man. I am.praying for this man. No matter the outcome I sincerely hope this man repents of this. I am also praying for his family as well. This had to be more than shocking to his wife and kids. Lastly for the church who now have the unenviable task of having to deal.with this from a leaders standpoint but also the protect the flock standpoint. This is just sad and disheartening. Yet God is good and His word is true. Evil deeds done in the dark will come.to.the light. Especially in the case of a brother or sister in Christ so it can be exposed and eradicated then covered in the blood of Christ.
He was my teacher in 7th grade and loved him, but he always wanted a hug from me, but he seemed great and now that I am in 8th and see what he is doing I am completely disgusted with him.
First, he’s a Pastor!! Then a husband to his wife, and a teacher. He ruined his life and career by letting his earthly sins do him in. He’s a man of flesh and he let the inappropriateness guide him instead of the Bible. Now suddenly, he got several fake accounts that were texting others. Laughable, that was ALL YOU, sir. He made his bed, now he will lay in it!!
Mr Moore has always been weird talking to allll these girls in school I have noticed that he is not the only one that has been purposely talking to girls in school. One of the janitors in this school has also trying to be seen by girls always trying to get there attention and being way to close them more than he should me. I’m sure there are more teachers like this just in that school alone keep out for people like this there all over the place jidion need to lock these dude up that’s for sure.
Grown a** man btw💔
no matter what this man wrote in there she’s still a minor and he’s a grown a*s man. you shouldn’t be texting minors in the first place especially casual conversation like this ESPECIALLY where you’re a teacher. now if you text students it should only be because you’re telling them to bring something tmmr for school and what not, things like that. that’s fine since its obviously meant for SCHOOL use. not casual conversation. that’s not fine. and even if it’s in a joking matter, no adult should tell a child they are a ‘good boy/girl’, tell them to delete messages, telling the kid that if what they will say is ss worthy, ect. ‘oH hE dId nOtHin bAD’ ‘tHeIr lYinG hE WoUlDnT dO sOmeThIng LiKE tHis!!!’ is there wool pulled over your eyes and a stick up your a*s? or are you just ignorant? i’d hate to be the bearer of bad news but even the nicest teacher can do things like this, especially nice ones. they gain trust easily and are able to get their targets faster. even if he has a wife and five kids or whatever. it doesn’t matter, clearly.
Yo, I knew him for 4 years bro that shi is crazy he was at our school for one day then never came back ever since and the fact if you get caught talking about that you get a write like tf it’s all over the internet and I know some of the teachers talk about it on their free time this actually makes me sad bro cause he was my teacher in the YMCA he used to come to my church on top of THAT!
yooo I go there and ive known him for 3 years so thats actually crazy. I heard rumors abt him being weird and i lowk believed it cs of a “joke” he said to me last year but this is js wild. I hope he never works at a school again.
CLOCK IT BESTIE
shut yo gay a*s up. Im abt sick of all these comments dude, Age is just a number and I like this girl.
Ah, yeah, because this is definitely Mr. Moore. He wouldn’t put “Mr. Moore” and this just looks dumb. How low do you have to be, impersonating a pedo under a news article about him??
Bro honestly I had him as a teacher. He doesn’t even seem like the type to talk to kids. He has a wife and 5 children as of last year. Even though I made some jokes, I don’t even think he’s guilty anymore- I think the mom just interpreted it the wrong way. But honestly, the damage is already done.
He shouldn’t have been writing that young girl period and if you look at the messages you can tell he was grooming to make her feel comfortable. He literally told her to delete messages and was scared she was telling people, you don’t think that screams guilty
I agree. Trying to gain trust and the sly “compliments”. Makes me think of svu episode. He should’ve never been messaging her period and WTF for. Married with children and a cold is b “keeping you company at night”. We all know being a “pastor” means nothing these days. It be the places you “least expect it”.
The fact that I had him as a teacher in middle school is crazy bro
Let’s be real if she did her “routine” check on her daughter’s phone she would’ve noticed her daughter talking to a grown man back in July the day it started let’s be real, I had Mr. Moore 5 years ago the parents also need to take accountability for not monitoring their child because it seems like she’s not monitoring her child as much as she claims to be🤷🏻♀️
Shut up lil bro She probably likes does it a few months she probably has a life unlike you what type of parents would name their child Jezmarae that sounds like a liquid brand
What does you having Mr. Moore 5 years ago have to do with this? Oh its clouding your perception and judgment which is why you’re blaming the Mother for “not checking her phone” but not the teacher sending inappropriate messages. Mr. Moore is obviously grooming her (and others) but off the texts that he’s sending. He’s needs to fired and his predatory self need to be investigated. Makes me wonder if he groomed you too
Wtf he was my fav😭 but I guess he was a ped.
sup thurston
Mr moore is my teacher bro WHAT
They lying he didn’t even say nun bad in those texts only the baddies part which isn’t even that bad why so serious I swear if yall fire him for no reason ima come down there my self
Cap u really gonna do something with full of kids in that school try if u want to
this gotta be mr Moore burner account 😭😭
Yo lil bro I don’t know who you is but shut up. how would you feel if you had a son/daughter getting texted by a “GROWN MAN IN IS MID 30s” calling them good girl/boy and saying he enjoyed their company and saying not to screenshot their messages like that shi is weird
im in his class and they he hasn’t been here the whole week and I think they fired him cause Mr Aiken been in the classroom fr
