77-year-old kills manager at senior apartment complex and self over rent dispute, police say

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - A Park Hills man who is a convicted sex 
offender is again facing prison time after federal agents found more 
than 5,000 images of child pornography on his cellphone.

U.S. District Court Eastern District of Missouri records show James 
Uebinger pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of possession of 
child pornography. He is set for sentencing on Jan. 24 and faces 
anywhere from 10 to 20 years in prison.

Court documents show at the time of his arrest, Uebinger was on 
lifetime federal supervision following a guilty plea in August 2012 
to three counts of possession of child pornography. In that case, he 
was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was released in September 
2020.

Condition of his release included submitting to unannounced home 
visits by federal probation officers and that any electronic devices 
in Uebinger’s possession be approved.

During a July 15 visit, probation officers noted he had two 
cellphones in his residence. Uebinger told the officers the second 
phone was issued by his employer, but when officers examined the 
device, they found he had been searching for pornography.

Uebinger told the probation officer there would be “a lot” of child 
pornography on the cellphone and he was likely heading back to 
prison, according to court documents.

A forensic exam of the device uncovered more than 5,000 images for 
child pornography and 41 videos.
