LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) - A former Liberty University professor has been indicted on a sex charge.

A Lynchburg grand jury charged Joshua Young Moon of Durham, N.C., on Monday with one count of object sexual penetration. Moon's trial is scheduled for Sept. 28.

Liberty fired Moon after he was charged in April with the crime involving one of his students.

The student, a rising senior, says she took a statistics class from Moon.

At a preliminary hearing in June, the student testified that Moon gave her pressure-point massages several times for chronic pain she suffered from a car wreck. She said she fell asleep once and awoke to find Moon touching her inappropriately.

Moon remains free on bond.
