Columbus, OH - Daniel Scott Fowler, 39, is a business analyst with the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System. He’s a single father of two daughters. And he is way handy with videocam equipment and the kiddie porn distribution. Not so handy with avoiding detection by police, though.
Last November, Fowler popped up on the radar of an investigator with the Upper Arlington Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children task force. It looked like Fowler might be spreading a little pre-teen porn around the internet, but then he didn’t show up again for awhile, but there wasn’t enough to really go get the guy at that point. Also, the task force was actively working another case and didn’t want to bust Fowler yet in case they needed him. Even so, Fowler’s IP was red-flagged and officers kept an eye out in case he showed up again.
Sure enough, Fowler tripped the kiddie porn rift again in July, and this time, the officer had what he needed to get a warrant. On Tuesday morning, police conducted a raid of Fowler’s South Columbus home. And holy cats, they got an eyeful.
Daniel Fowler had five girls between 12 and 17 in the home with him at the time of the raid, most of whom were relatives - two of the girls were his own daughters. During the search of the house, officers found multiple hidden cameras. Ewwwwww! This perv was spying on - and filming - underage girls in several areas of the house. Bathroom, bedrooms, you name it. What a disgusting filthy asshole.
And the child porn - oh, the child porn they found. Lots of it. Sexual activity involving pre-teens, mostly, although there is so much evidence investigators say it will take over 100 hours just to skim through it. Four computers were confiscated, as were over 100 videotapes and a few hundred DVDs.
The investigation into what Fowler might really have been up to is just beginning, but it seems apparent that every young girl who has ever spent time with this man is a likely victim.
Daniel Scott Fowler is currently charged with two counts of possession and dissemination of child pornography and one count of creating sexually oriented content involving a minor, although more charges are likely as the investigation continues. He was taken to the Franklin County Jail on Tuesday, but is currently out on bond. I bet he gets to go back in pretty soon.

When is the justice system going to realize the vast majority of these jokers are as dangerous as any serial rapist and treat them as such. He’s probably re-offending as I write this. The asshole just loves it too much.

Something major to happen? As always, they do, but hey that is the way it goes, they say….hmmm…. Well anyway he is gross and disgusting if you want my opinion, look at him, “another preditor walking, roaming the streets” great

I agree, that pic is the hotness. And by hotness, I mean the burning sensation I get when the bile rises in my throat.

This man is a disgusting human being. Since he’s out and probably on the internet, I hope he drops by here to defend himself! I need some amusement today!
