Water View man sentenced to 105 years in child porn cases

Daniel Garith Ebinger, 25, of Water View, pleaded guilty in Middlesex County Circuit Court on March 16 to multiple child pornography and child solicitation charges. The charges include one count of Internet solicitation of a minor; one count of possession of child pornography, first offense; and nine counts of possession of child pornography, second or subsequent offense. Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Shaw accepted Ebinger’s guilty pleas and sentenced him to seven years of active imprisonment with an additional 98 years suspended, according to a news release from the Virginia attorney general’s office.

Upon his release, Ebinger will be placed on supervised probation and be required to register as a sex offender in any jurisdiction where he lives or works.

“I am proud of my team for successfully prosecuting this case and ensuring that justice was served. The Office of the Attorney General has no tolerance for crimes against children and will not stop prosecuting these cases to the fullest extent of the law,” said Virginia Attorney General Jason S. Miyares.
