In a bond hearing Monday in Lynchburg General District Court, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Rebecca Wetzel said prosecutors’ evidence shows Moon touched the student’s genitals during a massage.
The student was taking a test in Moon’s office, Wetzel said. Because she suffered headaches and backaches, he offered to give her a massage after the test.
She lay down on the floor, and Moon began the massage, Wetzel said. The student fell asleep. When she awoke, Moon was touching her genitals, Wetzel said.
Wetzel said prosecutors’ evidence shows Moon had previously given the student massages at her home on campus.
Authorities allege the incident occurred April 21; he was charged two days later.
Moon was granted a $25,000 secured bond Monday afternoon.
Joshua Young Moon, of Durham, N.C., taught mathematics at LU. His employment was terminated in connection with being charged with one count of object sexual penetration by force.
Moon is scheduled for an attorney advisement hearing Friday.
Moon is scheduled for an arraignment May 1.
