From staff reports

A former Liberty University professor pleaded guilty Friday to a single charge of aggravated sexual battery against a student.

Joshua Young Moon, of Durham, N.C., was accused of inappropriately touching a female student in his office last year.

Moon, 45, offered the student massages because she complained of pain from a September 2008 car wreck. Prosecutors said the contact went beyond massages.

Moon taught mathematics at the university and was fired after the incident in connection with being charged with one count of object sexual penetration by force, a school spokesman said after Moon’s arrest in April 2009. He pleaded guilty to the amended charge Friday and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Rebecca Wetzel said.

Well, at least this story will go away faster.

Speaking of stories that put LU in a bad light that went away, what ever happened to that guy a couple of years ago, he was an LU grad, working in DLP and his baby died. And then like a week later he got charged with it. I never heard the outcome of that.

I never even knew that story existed.

A lot of people (including me) were skeptical of the charges because of Dr. Moon's reputation and because the girl's account was kind of sketchy. Needless to say, I am very surprised he plead guilty. I was really hoping that it would come out that he was innocent.
