A Warren County man was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison for possession of child pornography, U.S. Attorney David DeVillers announced in a news release.
Garry Weatherbie, 65, had more than 600 images of child pornography on his tablet when he was arrested on Feb. 6, 2019. At the time, he was still on parole for a previous sex offense: Pandering sexual material involving a minor.
Weatherbie pleaded guilty in February 2020.
“Today’s significant sentencing removes from the community a repeat child predator, who shockingly continued his predatory behavior while on parole for similar crimes,” said Vance Callender, Homeland Security Investigations special agent in charge for Michigan and Ohio, in the news release. “There is no place in our society for those who prey on children. HSI and its partners will continue to aggressively target those who exploit children.”
Weatherbie will remain on supervised release for an additional 10 years after the completion of his sentence.
