Former NASA Engineer Involved in Lunar Landing Video Arrested for Alleged Sexual Assault

A NASA engineer, Eric Sim, has been arrested in Texas for allegedly sexually assaulting two women he met on dating apps. The 37-year-old engineer, who was already bailed out of a Houston jail for $500,000 on the charges, is facing serious allegations of misconduct.

Controversial Music Video Appearance

In December 2012, while still a student, Sim appeared in a viral music video parody for Houston's Johnson Space Center. The video, posted on the center’s YouTube account, featured Sim parodying the South Korean rapper Psy's hit "Gangnam Style." Despite his previous reputable appearance in the video, Sim's recent alleged actions have shocked many.

Allegations and Investigations

According to reports, Sim allegedly refused to take no for an answer and is accused of drugging one of the women and overpowering the other. Both incidents are said to have occurred at Sim’s Houston-area home. Prosecutors have indicated that there may be additional victims, leading to ongoing investigations by the authorities.

Concerns and Credibility

Former FBI agent Nicole Parker has drawn attention to the serious nature of the case, highlighting the potential involvement of other women and the misuse of Sim's position at NASA to gain the trust of his alleged victims. This has raised concerns about the credibility and safety of individuals who may have interacted with him.

Denial of Accusations

Sim’s attorney has strongly denied the allegations, emphasizing that his client is shocked and devastated by the false accusations. The attorney has expressed confidence in proving Sim's innocence in the face of the gravity of the allegations.

As the investigation unfolds, the case continues to garner significant attention and raises important questions about trust and safety in interactions facilitated by technology.
