CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- David Wayne McDaniel, 53, from
Charleston, pled guilty today to possession of child pornography, announced
United States Attorney Mike Stuart.
Stuart commended the investigative work of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
“Incomprehensible,” said United States Attorney Mike
Stuart. “We will prosecute every one of
these horrific crimes and put child predators behind bars.”
McDaniel admitted that he possessed over 600 images,
including pornographic images of prepubescent minors and images containing
sadistic or masochistic conduct, other depictions of violence, or sexual abuse
or exploitation of an infant or toddler.
Because McDaniel has a prior conviction for sexual abuse of
a minor, he faces a mandatory minimum of ten years in prison when he is
sentenced on December 13, 2018.
Assistant United States Attorney Steve Loew is handling the
prosecution. United States District
Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr. presided over the plea hearing.
