Liberty University Instructor Attacked by Student

LU student granted $10,000 bond in sexual assault case

"A Liberty University student charged with aggravated sexual battery of an LU instructor was granted $10,000 bond and will be staying with family in Florida while his case is pending."

"Nathaniel Gene Wallace, 21, was arrested on March 20 and charged with aggravated sexual battery....Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Andrew Childress said a woman and man visited Wallace the night of March 16 at his apartment near Greenview Drive to drink. The three continued to drink and at one point, the woman fell asleep on a bean bag chair in Wallace’s apartment while the two men were talking, he said. Defense attorney Chuck Felmlee referred to the woman Thursday as an instructor at LU."

"Wallace told law enforcement in an interview he remembered taking off the woman’s clothes and said she was 'out cold' and didn’t wake up while he was touching her....Wallace’s mother took the stand Thursday to say her son has no record and was a prayer leader at his dorm during his first year at LU. She said he was on track to graduate early in December, but defense attorney Chuck Felmlee said he’s been banned from campus and suspended....Wallace will be living with his family in Florida while out on bond and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on June 6."
