Man accused of sexually assaulting North Las Vegas teen

A Las Vegas man faces faces 11 counts of sexual assault after authorities say he had repeated sexual contact with a North Las Vegas girl, now 14.

Bobby Justice Webber, 31, was arrested in late December by North Las Vegas police for allegedly having sexual contact with a girl multiple times starting in June, when she was 13.

According to police reports:

Detectives began investigating in October, after the girl’s father told police he’d found inappropriate photos and texts from Webber on her phone.

The girl told police she had sex with Webber, who admitted “that she had told him that she was 14, but he kept seeing her because he didn’t want to hurt her.”

“He said he was sorry for what he did … but would not give me any specific details,” police wrote.

The arrest report states Webber “had also been investigated by North Las Vegas police in 2014 for statutory sexual seduction for impregnating a 15-year-old.” There was no indication in the report or online court records that Webber was charged.

North Las Vegas Township Justice Court records indicate a Bobby Justice Webber was charged in 2007 with statutory sexual seduction. Webber pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct and was sentenced to two days in jail.
