SHERMAN, Texas (KTEN) — Former Denison youth pastor Chad Michael Rider has been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison.

Rider — a resident of Anna, Texas, and a chiropractor — was convicted on three counts of child pornography production last July. The state alleged that Rider, 49, assisted former Denison pastor David Pettigrew by secretly filming children as they were bathing at the church.

“Justice has been served on Chad Michael Rider for his role in the production of child pornography,” said U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston in a written statement.  “He used his trusted roles as a church leader, caregiver to at-risk teens, and as a trusted member of his community to plant secret recording devices in bathrooms and other places where children would be disrobed.  This shocking breach of trust was committed by an individual who had falsely sewn a firm belief of good character of himself in so many parents in his community."

Pettigrew is currently serving 30 years for his crimes.
