Mentor-on-the-Lake Man Accused Of Distributing Child Pornography

A Mentor-on-the-Lake man, who is already registered as a sexual predator, is accused of distributing child pornography on the Internet.

Kevin A. Davis, 46, was arrested Friday morning when agents from the Postal Inspector's Office, with the help of the Mentor-on-the-Lake Police Department, raided his home on Salida Drive.

Davis has been detained by authorities and will have a detention hearing next week, according to the U.S Attorney's Office in Northern Ohio. He faces one count of distributing child pornography.

When authorities raided his house, they confiscated a laptop computer, DVDs and several color photos of nearly nude prepubescent boys, according to the complaint filed against him.

Davis has been registered as a sexual offender since 2002 when he pleaded guilty to attempted pandering obscenity involving a minor in Lake County Court of Common Pleas.

On Jan. 27, 2002, officers from the Mentor-on-the-Lake Police Department were called to the home where Davis lived with his mother for a domestic disturbance.

While investigating a physical altercation between them, the officers discovered several photographs of nude boys on the floors and walls of Davis' room, according to the Lake County Prosecutor's Office.

There were also pornographic images of young boys on his computer, as well as homemade videotapes of adolescent boys and children performing various sex acts, prosecutors said.

Davis has also been convicted of drug charges and domestic violence. He most recently went to prison in 2005 when he was convicted on a felony count of domestic violence.
