A man out of Southwest Virginia was recently sentenced to 25 years in prison for his involvement in an abuse case that involved a child.

On Tuesday, it was announced by Lee, County Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorney H. Fuller Cridlin that Daniel Sharrett of Dryden will spend his sentence of 25 years in Richmond at the Virginia State Penitentiary.

Sharrett was convicted back in October 2021 of malicious wounding a two-month-old child. Sharrett is the father of the child. He will be on supervised probation for the rest of his life once he is released from prison.

In February of 2020, Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Virginia State troopers found injuries that were intentionally and were able to connect them to the suspect.
