Randy L. DeJaynes, 57, a former English teacher at DeLand-Weldon High School, in DeLand, Illinois who pleaded guilty in August to one count of possession of child pornography has been sentenced in Macon County.
DeJaynes, who is also the former pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Decatur, Illinois, was sentenced to two years probation and is prohibited from having contact the victim.
DeJaynes also must undergo sex offender treatment, pay fines and restitution totaling $12,945 and forfeit the computer seized by police.
The child pornography charge in Macon County arose from DeJaynes giving a teenage boy at DeLand-Weldon High School a digital camera with the understanding the boy was to take a picture of his genitals and e-mail it to DeJaynes. Police found one picture of the boy’s genitals on DeJaynes computer. As part of the August plea deal prosecutors in Macon County dropped three additional child pornography counts.
DeJaynes also faces three charges of aggravated battery and two charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in Piatt County. Those charges allege DeJaynes squeezed the buttocks of several of his male students at DeLand-Weldon High School, kissed one on the head and twice rubbed his sex organ against the knee of a student for the purpose of his personal sexual arousal. Reportedly these charges will be dropped when DeJaynes makes a court appearance in Piatt County on Wednesday.
