AP:
A judge has ruled there is enough evidence against a former Liberty University professor accused of a sex crime to send the charge to a grand jury for consideration.
The ruling came Wednesday after a preliminary hearing in Lynchburg General District Court for Joshua Young Moon on a charge of object sexual penetration by force.
The conservative Christian school fired Moon after he was charged in April with the crime involving 1 of his students.
The student, a rising senior, says she took a statistics class from Moon.
She testified that Moon gave her pressure-point massages several times for chronic pain she suffered from a car wreck. She says she fell asleep once and awoke to find Moon touching her inappropriately.
The grand jury meets July 6.

Liberty University’s student Democratic club has reached an agreement with the school on its status.
Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. said today that a change in university policy will allow the Liberty University College Democrats to exist as an unofficial club. The policy change, which took effect yesterday, also changed the College Republicans from an officially recognized campus group to the new unofficial status.
Liberty withdrew official recognition of the Lynchburg school’s club last month because it supported the Democratic Party’s platforms and candidates.
Under the new policy, the unofficial organizations won’t receive school funding but may use the Liberty name and meet in school facilities if they make it clear the university doesn’t officially endorse them.
According to sources, the Dems Club members are satisfied.

Liberty University is trying to work on a proposal that would end the school’s official endorsement of all political campus clubs.
The proposal would categorize political clubs as unofficial clubs, which would not receive money from the university, but would still be able to use the university’s name.
Unofficial clubs will now be able to use the school’s master calendar system to take advantage of the school’s facilities.
Formerly, unofficial clubs were relegated to areas such as dorm rooms, student centers and the dining hall.
Unofficial clubs that choose to sponsor a candidate whose stance is contrary to the mission of the school, would be denied use of the school’s main facilities.
