Investigators with the Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force found the images, collected over a period of nearly seven years, by combing through Davis’ email history, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The images showed girls exposing themselves and involved in sex acts with adults, court records show, according to The Dispatch.
Davis has been indicted on four felony counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving minors.
After his arrest, Davis admitted to emailing the images to himself to look at later on other devices, The Dispatch reported.
