A Columbus, Ohio WBNS-10TV television meteorologist was arrested in September 2019 charged with possessing child pornography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
60-year-old Mike Davis is accused of possessing thousands of child pornography images. Mike allegedly knowingly shared the images with other people. Mike was employed at WBNS-10TV for 31 years. The station quickly fired Mike after his arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force received a tip which ultimately led to search warrants requesting electronics at Mike’s home and at his WBNS-10TV job. Among the images involved in the case included a prepubescent juvenile female involved in a sex act. It is alleged that Mike both sent and received images of children being sexually exploited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike was arrested in his home in his pajamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike has been charged with pandering sexual oriented material, a second-degree felony. This is punishable by up to eight years in prison and a $15,000 fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WBNS-10TV released this statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
