GAINESVILLE - A former White County Deputy was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison and 15 years supervised release Tuesday in a child pornography case.

According to the United States Attorney's Office, United States District Court Judge William C. O'Kelley sentenced Christopher Thomas Davis, 34, of Dahlonega.

The crime happened between May 18, 2009 and June 25, 2009, according to the U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates and several public documents. Davis took photographs of a seven-year-old female engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The photographs were taken inside Davis' Dahlonega home.

In August of last year, federal agents executed a search warrant at Davis' home where they found additional images of child pornography.

"The defendant violated the trust of a young girl and his community. That the defendant committed this offense while serving as a law enforcement officer makes this crime that much more atrocious," Yates said in a news release.

The case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant United States Attorneys Jill E. Steinberg and Brent A. Gray prosecuted the case.
