New details in the sexual touching case against a western Sydney music and drama teacher have been heard in court.
Plumpton High School teacher Tyson Moon, 26 was charged in November with three counts of sexually touching a child under special care.
Moon’s case was mentioned at Mt Druitt Local Court on Wednesday, with his lawyer confirming his client was maintaining a plea of not guilty to all three charges. He also revealed there were kisses involved in the matter.
“There is no dispute that there was a kiss on each occasion. The dispute is whether it was a sexual kiss,” Moon’s lawyer said.
NSW Police child abuse squad officers had been investigating Moon since November 1, following reports of alleged misconduct.
Documents tendered to the court state Moon intentionally sexually touched a young person under his special care last year.
The Silverdale resident is also charged with two other incidents alleged to have occurred in October.
Moon had previously tried to apply for a non-publication order with no success.
Moon remains out on bail and will return to court on March 26 to set a hearing date.
His bail conditions include not going near or contacting any person under the age of 18 unless he’s with another adult, along with not contacting staff members, teachers or students at the school.
Parents at the school were notified of the charges in a letter from the principal who, without naming Moon, revealed he had been “assigned to a non-school work location by the NSW Department of Education” while the court case progressed.
