CAMDEN — FAYETTEVILLE - University of Arkansas golfer Taylor Moore pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of voyeurism Wednesday and was sentenced in Washington County Circuit Court to one year's probation and to pay a $1,000 fine.
Moore and Razorbacks golfing teammate Nicolas Echavarria were arrested in May on suspicion of video voyeurism, a felony.
Charges against Echavarria were dropped in June.
Moore pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and is ordered to have no contact with the victim.
A woman who said she was a friend of both golfers, encountered the two while bar-hopping with a friend on Dickson Street. She told Fayetteville police she believed she was too intoxicated to drive home and accepted a ride to Moore's house. She said she passed out on their couch and was carried to a bedroom but said she awoke to flashes of light and suspected that she was being photographed.
Upon their arrests, Moore, the Razorbacks' top golfer and Echavarria. Last year's No. 4 Arkansas men's golfer, immediately were suspended from the Razorbacks' golf team just before NCAA Regionals. Neither went to New Haven, Conn. for the Yale Regional where Arkansas was eliminated.
Arkansas Coach Brad McMakin has not commented on Moore and Echavarria since the UA announced their suspensions before the Yale Regional.
Moore and Echavarria both are seniors-to-be for the 2015-2016 fall and spring men's golf seasons.
