COLUMBUS, Ohio — Fromer 10TV meteorologist Mike Davis will plead guilty to four counts accusing him of child pornography.
Davis was charged in September with pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor’, a second-degree felony.
WBNS reported: Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) received 25 tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a Yahoo! Inc. account associated with Davis’ email address had uploaded more than 15,000 images of suspected child pornography using that email address.
According to the affidavit in support of the search warrant, “the complaint described the images as being female children ranging in the age from pre-teen to young teenager.”
The indictment alleges that Davis downloaded and emailed to himself videos and images depicting young children engaging in sexual activity.
According to the affidavit, Davis stated he would email the images to himself to view on other devices.
He had been “regularly e-mailing” images to himself in “small batches” since December of 2012, according to the affidavit.
Dacis was with 10TV for over 30 years and was fired shortly after the accusation.
