He was released on parole to get treatment for a mental condition.

He alleges prison counselor Susan Lee Clingerman used him as a "virtual sex slave, demanding sexual gratification at her whim" while he was imprisoned.

In a lawsuit filed in September in Jackson County Circuit Court, Moerman alleges prison officials knew or should have known what was happening because another prison counselor acted as a lookout for Clingerman.
