A Mattoon church pastor has been suspended following his arrest on a child pornography charge.
51-year-old Douglas Overmyer is accused of sharing a video of an underage girl and an adult male engaging in a sex act. Court documents indicate that Overmyer committed the offense on or about May 20, 2025.
Overmyer had been appointed to Zion Hill Church in Mattoon.
In court Monday, a petition to deny Overmyer’s pretrial release was granted. A preliminary hearing for Overmyer has been scheduled for December 15.
