Court document: Man charged with sex crime with girl under age 12 molested her for seven years

A grand jury indictment of a resident of the State of Washington for coming to Fort Leonard Wood over a three-year period and having sex with a girl under of the age of 12 was unsealed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri.

According to the indictment, Timothy Ray Smith, 55, Renton, Washington, had sex with the child between June 4, 2015 and August 18, 2018, but a detention motion filed when the case was in Washington, indicates Smith molested the girl over a seven-year period, destroyed evidence and convinced the child to do the same.








The acts took place on the premises of Fort Leonard Wood and involved Smith crossing the state lines, both of which make the acts a federal crime.

Smith's initial appearance was held this morning in Springfield. His arraignment is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
