A grand jury indicted a former Grundy County pastor this week, who is accused of attempted child rape.
District Attorney Mike Taylor told WRCB-TV that 48-year-old William E. “Tim” Smith, Jr. was indicted on charges of attempted rape of a child, aggravated sexual battery and possession of a controlled substance.
Smith is accused of trying to rape a 12-year-old girl, according to the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office.
Taylor says Smith’s next court date is July 20.
