A longtime central Ohio weatherman is behind bars on child porn charges.
10TV-WBNS weatherman Mike Davis is locked up in the Franklin County Jail on numerous child pornography charges. He has an initial court hearing Friday morning.
According to paperwork, Davis “knowingly advertised for sale or dissemination, sell, distribute, transport, an image of a minor participating or engaging in sexual activity” on August 5.
Task force members with Franklin County Sheriff’s office’s ICAC (internet crimes against children) raided Davis’ Upper Arlington home Thursday morning.

Oh, man! I almost wish I hadn’t seen this. Sad. Not saddened for him. Sad that we trusted him. Sad for any children exploited due to his actions.
I guess he’s innocent til proven guilty, but it sounds pretty damming.
