SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – A 56-year-old Washington man was sentenced to 20 years
in prison without parole for traveling to Missouri to sexually assault a young
girl. Timothy Smith, of Renton, Washington, was sentenced Wednesday for
traveling across state lines to engage in illicit sexual conduct. Prosecutors
say the investigation began in 2018 when the girl told a friend that Smith had
assaulted her. A school counselor notified the Missouri Department of Social
Services. The girl told investigators Smith had assaulted her several times when
she was between the ages of 5 and 12, both at Fort Leonard Wood and at a
Missouri home. Smith will also have be on supervised release for the rest of his
life after he serves his prison sentence.
