PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – A man from Michigan is behind bars for traveling to Putnam County and meeting a 12-year-old girl for sex, according to Putnam County Sheriff’s Deputies.
Detectives tell WSAZ.com Ashlee Liebert, 33, of Whitmore Lake, Michigan, was caught in a car along Cross Creek Road in Buffalo, W.Va. with the young girl early Sunday morning.
Liebert admitted to deputies he began talking with the 12-year-old online. Detectives say the two met while playing the “World of Warcraft” game online and developed a relationship over five months.
Liebert confessed that he had also met other girls online, according to police. Police are unsure if any other potential victims are from our region.
Liebert told deputies he got upset with the girl late Saturday after he suspected she was having a relationship with another friend.
Deputies say the girl told a friend she had been talking with Liebert and planned to run away with Liebert to Michigan early Sunday morning. That friend told a parent who called police.
Detectives say they were gathering information to issue an amber alert when a deputy discovered the pair not far from the young girl’s friend’s house. They say Liebert was on top of the in the back seat. Liebert admitted to touching the girl inappropriately.
Liebert was arrested and charged with sex abuse by a parent or guardian and third degree sexual assault. He’s being held in the Western Regional Jail on a $250,000 cash-only bond.
Detectives say Liebert told them if he got out of jail, he would still like the 12-year-old to go to Michigan with him since their “love was so strong.”
Police in Michigan are working with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department to execute a search warrant on Liebert’s home. Detectives say they’re continuing to gather evidence and have already seized Liebert’s computer. They fear there could be several other victims.
