An LSU student was arrested Tuesday in connection to a child sex abuse material investigation, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

Jahi Palmer-Davis, a sociology junior, according to his LinkedIn, was charged with pornography involving juveniles and the unauthorized use of a wireless router system. 

Police allege Palmer-Davis used Instagram, his LSU email and LSU’s router system to share the child pornography, both WBRZ and The Advocate reported. 

Representatives from East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to phone calls from the Reveille Wednesday afternoon. Todd Woodward, LSU’s vice president of marketing and communications, said the university was aware of the arrest but had not received information about the investigation.

At the university, Palmer-Davis was a member of the LSU Leadership Coalition, according to his Facebook. He was also involved in LSU Student Government. In 2022, he was elected as a student senator for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, a position he no longer serves in. He also acted as an ex-officio member for LSU Faculty Senate’s Integrative Learning Core Committee. 

He was still being held in custody as of Wednesday afternoon.
