GLENMORA, La. (KLFY)- A Rapides Parsh man is facing multiple counts of sex crimes against children.

On March 3, 2019, deputies responded to take a report of an incident of criminal sexual conduct involving a juvenile.  

Detectives began their investigation and identified the suspect as Kristopher Kevin Smith, 33, of Glenmora.

Through their investigation, including an interview of the victim through the Rapides Children’s Advocacy Center, detectives were able to establish “sufficient probable cause that supported the original allegations.”

  A warrant was obtained for Smith’s arrest for one count felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile and 17 counts on indecent behavior with a juvenile. 

 Smith was taken into custody without incident on March 15.

He was booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center and released later that day after posting a $22,000.00 bond.
