Dayton police began to investigate after the father of the victim discovered the relationship between the 15-year-old and Dazen and reported it, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

An examination of Dazen’s electronic devices revealed illegal images, the prosecutor’s office said.

Dazen is currently in the Montgomery County Jail, and is scheduled for arraignment July 10.
