A complaint by a 14-year-old girl led Statesboro Police to arrest the youth pastor of a local church Tuesday. Detectives arrested Douglas Randall Pope, 31, South Zetterower Avenue, on charges of child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes, said Statesboro Public Safety Director Wendell Turner. Computers, cameras and other digital media were seized from Pope’s home during the execution of a search warrant.
