Houston man guilty of giving illegal butt injections gets 5 years behind bars

HOUSTON – A man accused of illegally administering butt injections to at least three women has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Back in April, 43-year-old Dustin Moore was charged with one count of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury and three counts of medical practice act violation.

The charges stem from allegations that Moore used syringes to inject a clear and unlabeled substance into the women, causing at least one Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, MRSA is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics.
