Moore was placed behind bars after that indictment was handed down Thursday. A check with the Lucas County Jail shows that Moore was later released after posting $50,000 bond.

According to a search warrant, Moore is accused of having unlawful sexual conduct with a minor on more than one occasion, the most recent occurrence on November 1st.
