A previously convicted sex offender was sentenced to 13 years in prison Friday after being convicted of taking indecent liberties with a minor and for failing to register as a sex offender.
Michael Glen King, 32, of Lynchburg pleaded guilty to the crimes in January. King was further convicted in March of violating the terms of his probation for a 1996 conviction for taking indecent liberties with a minor.

He is already serving a three-year prison sentence for probation violation. He served two years on the original indecent liberties conviction.

On Friday, Lynchburg Circuit Court Judge Mosby Perrow sentenced King to 10 years in prison for taking indecent liberties with a child and an additional five years for failing to register as a sex offender. Perrow suspended two years of the latter sentence.

Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Janell Johnson said King victimized a girl between the ages of 9 and 11.

“Michael King has stolen that innocence from her,” Johnson said.
