Ex-TV weatherman sentenced to prison on child porn charges

COLUMBUS — Former WBNS 10-TV weatherman Mike Davis has been sentenced to four to six years in prison for downloading pornographic images depicting children.

Davis’ sentence followed his guilty pleas on four counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor.

Authorities have said he downloaded and emailed the material to himself over a period of about seven years.

Davis, 60, also will have to register as a sex offender for the next 25 years.

His attorney asked that Davis be sent to a therapy program rather than prison.

WBNS-TV fired Davis after his arrest in September.
