Monterey County Christian school teacher accused of sexually assaulting student

SALINAS, California.Authorities have arrested a Prunedale man after allegations surfaced that he sexually assaulted a juvenile student, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday.

Michael Louis Moon, 22, was arrested Friday after deputies received a report that he had sexually assaulted a student at Prunedale Christian Academy in the 8000 block of Prunedale North Road the day before.

Moon was booked into the Monterey County Jail and is being held on $1 million bail.

It is unclear whether the alleged incident or incidents occurred on school grounds or whether Moon was currently working in his official capacity as a teacher.

KTVU has reached out to Prunedale Christian Academy and is awaiting comment on the allegations against the teacher.

Authorities said they believe there may be more victims and are asking anyone who believes they may be a victim, either current or past, to “bravely come forward” and speak to their officers.

Det. Christina Scariot and Nicholas Kennedy can be reached at (831) 755-3811 and (831) 755-3773, respectively.
