Longtime Columbus Weatherman Facing Child Porn Charges

(ONN) – Mike Davis, the Chief Meteorologist for 10TV in Columbus, has been charged with possessing child pornography.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said its Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began investigating weeks ago based on a tip.

On Thursday morning, investigators served a search warrant on Davis’ home before serving another at WBNS TV – seizing his personal computer and four thumb drives from his bag.

Court records show the charge Davis is facing relates to an image of a “prepubescent” juvenile female” involved in a sex act.

Authorities say Davis both sent and received images, and sources say the images number in the thousands and span years.
