Cape Coral police have arrested a 30-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting an 8-year-old child Thursday.

Robert Urban of Cape Coral has been charged with sexual assault of a victim under 12 years old, and remained in the Lee County Jail Friday evening, according to booking records.

Witnesses reportedly told police they caught Urban in bed with the 8-year-old and both were nude.

Urban is 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 180 lbs.

According to reports, Urban was staying on a blow-up mattress in the room of a home, though it is unclear who may have been sharing that room with him or who else may have been living in the home.

The victim discussed the details of the incident with a Child Protection Team worker, and was also given a medical exam by a CPT nurse, reports state.

Forensics investigators photographed bedding and the victim’s clothing, and these items were placed into police evidence along with Urban’s clothing.

Urban reportedly denied the incident and declined to speak with officers without a lawyer present.

As the result of an investigation by Cape Coral Detective Todd Kerns, police found probable cause to charge Urban in the incident.

His bond has been set at $500,000.
