A Roanoke County registered sex offender is back behind bars, accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl.
Roanoke County police arrested Mike Webber, of Old Bent Mountain Road, on January 8th.
It's Webber's second arrest involving an alleged sex crime against a minor in the last 18 months.
In August 2008, Webber pleaded no contest to one count of taking indecent liberties with an 8-year-old girl in Salem Circuit Court.
Judge Robert Doherty Jr. suspended all of Webber's three year prison sentence.
Charges of kidnapping the girl and hitting her were dropped as part of a plea agreement, court records show.
Doherty also placed Webber on one year of supervised probation.
Webber's live-in girlfriend, Jennifer Wimmer, said Webber is innocent in the latest set of charges.
"I do not believe he did anything to this particular child," Wimmer said.
A judge denied Webber bond on this latest charge in a court hearing Thursday morning.
Court records show his prior criminal history includes convictions on misdemeanor sexual battery in 1998 and indecent exposure in 2004.
