11. you might want to update your OP - they weren't powerpoint slideshows

The article is rewritten now, so the first paragraph saying that powerpoint slideshows were found of sexual images has been changed to the images were found in the emails and a Powerpoint slideshow was made including those images to show to the press because the press wanted copies of the actual images.

The first paragraph now reads:

"Old email accounts of top current and former Pennsylvania officials — including the state police commissioner, the top environmental regulator and Gov. Tom Corbett’s former spokesman — contained sexual images and videos, the attorney general’s office said Thursday."

The bit about what the Powerpoint was about is explained further down in the article:

"The office had received — and rejected — requests for the images from news outlets citing the state’s Right-to-Know law. But aides to Ms. Kane on Thursday invited reporters to view a sample of the videos and photographs at the agency’s Harrisburg offices.

Reporters were not shown emails. Rather, an agent displayed images that had been collected into files on a laptop computer. As he did so, he named former employees in whose old email accounts the images had allegedly been found."

"The agent clicked through Powerpoint slideshows depicting nude women and said they had been found in the accounts of former Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley, former deputy attorney general Patrick Blessington and former executive deputy attorney general Richard Sheetz."
