Laclede County
Travis R. Smith of California, Mo. is scheduled to for jury trail in Laclede County Circuit Court April 18-22.
He is facing multiple charges filed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol for alleged incidents that took place in Moniteau County in 1998,1999, 2000 and 2005. The case was transferred to Laclede on a change of venue.
Charges include one county of forcible rape, five counts of second degree statutory rape, one count of sexual abuse, one count of forcible sodomy and one count of second degree statutory sodomy. The charges stem from allegations by two different women who were underage at the time in question.
Smith was arrested in 2012 by the Highway Patrol. After a mistrial in December 2015, the case was transferred from Moniteau County to Laclede.
