DECATUR - A former Central Illinois high school teacher and pastor faces probation after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography.

Randy DeJaynes pleaded guilty in a Decatur court room Tuesday to possession of child pornography. Under a deal with prosecutors, he'll be sentenced to two years probation.

Assistant State's Attorney Elizabeth Dobson says prosecutors plan to drop charges alleging DeJaynes molested some male students at DeLand-Weldon High School. The small towns are about 25 miles northeast of Decatur.

Police found a picture of a student's genitals on DeJaynes' home computer.

DeJaynes is also a former pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Decatur.
