Diebold's defense attorney, Dan Joseph, said his client did not commit any crime. He said it was unreasonable to put him back in jail on a "technical violation."

Diebold, 42, was arrested last year during a child predator sting. He pleaded guilty in January and was released on probation before this latest alleged violation.
