A Norfolk man has been charged with taking indecent liberties with a 12-year-old Virginia Beach girl, police spokesman Lou Thurston said Friday.
Joseph M. Miller, 25, was arrested Thursday night.
Thurston said the incident occurred Nov. 4 about 6:15 p.m. when the girl was playing with friends in the 1100 block of Crossway Road, in the Upton Estates section of the city.
The girl stated that a man in a silver or light gray Ford Tempo approached her and indicated he was a police officer.
He asked her to expose herself and made sexual remarks to her, the girl said. The girl went home and told her mother what had happened. They then notified police.
Miller, of the 400 block of E. Chester St., was arrested by detective Mark Bordner of the department's sexual assault squad.
Miller was released by a magistrate on a $20,000 bond.
Thurston said the man is active in the Navy and is assigned at the SIMA Naval Facility in Portsmouth.
Miller may have been in Upton Estates area because he has an acquaintance there, Thurston said.
The case is being investigated by Bordner with help from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Thurston said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Solvers at 427-0000.
