MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis, TN – A former Memphis pastor has been indicted on child pornography possession charges.
Prosecutors say Demarcus Smith coerced a male under the age of 18 to take pictures of himself engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
This allegedly happened between August 2014 and May 2015.
Smith was a pastor at Oak Hill Missionary Baptist Church in South Memphis and member of the Baptist Ministerial Association.
A deacon at Oak Hill told WREG over the phone the church let Smith go when allegations surfaced in April.
