TYLER — The step-grandfather of Jacob Kimbley has been sentenced to 20 years in prison, according to the Smith County Judicial website. KETK reports Leo Daniel Harber, who is a registered sex offender, was arrested last month for violation of his probation when guns were found in his house. Judge Kerry Russell sentenced the 73-year-old to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine, the maximum sentence available. He is afforded the right to appeal the ruling within 30 days. Kimbley is the child who was found dead in a septic tank last month. His parents were arrested on August 29 for child endangerment. They’ve also been denied visitation rights to their five other children. Authorities are still awaiting autopsy results.
