A Jones County man was indicted by a grand jury last week for three counts of aggravated child molestation and other related crimes he committed over a span of two years.
A Jones County Grand Jury indicted David Clinton Smith April 16 for the counts of aggravated child molestation, cruelty to children in first degree, reckless conduct, enticing a child for indecent purpose and two counts of sexual exploitation of children.
Smith was arrested Feb. 19 by investigators of the Jones County Sheriff’s Office. The charges were the result of disclosures of the 15-year old victim during a session with a medical professional.
JCSO Investigator John Simmons said in a March 7 interview that evidence was being collected confirming the details that came out during the session. The investigator said one of the crimes was alleged to have occurred in August at a motel in Milledgeville, and that has been verified.
Simmons said, while Smith was at the motel with the juvenile, he put an invitation on social media for a threesome, and Nattera Latroy Tucker responded. The investigator said Tucker also had sex with the juvenile.
He said Smith later set up another meeting for the three of them at Tucker’s home in Milledgeville.
Simmons said Tucker has been arrested in Baldwin County and charged with aggravated child molestation.
The investigator said it appeared the criminal behavior was disclosed after Smith lost interest in the juvenile in November and dropped her.
All the April 16 Grand Jury indictments can be found on the open records page in this week’s edition.
