A Magna man has been charged with attacking a Salt Lake man apparently because he was gay.

Fa Junior Moimoi, 20, took a picture with an 18-year-old man he met Aug. 9 at an overlook of the city on Churchill Drive, according to charges filed Thursday in 3rd District Court. A girl with Moimoi asked the teen if he was gay, and later Moimoi and four other men attacked the teen and his friends, according to the charges.

Moimoi faces two counts of aggravated assault, a first-degree felony, and one count of misdemeanor assault.
