A Morgan County pastor will be back in court again for sex crimes charges.

Travis Smith, 42, is charged with statutory rape and statutory sodomy.

The Moniteau County prosecutor said these charges stem from an alleged incident in 2005.

Smith has bonded out of jail on a nearly $70,000 bond for all the charges. He’s due in court for his arraignment later this month.

These new charges come a little more than a year after Smith was found not guilty on child molestation charges.
