Jason Smith Mormon Sex Crime Case Summary

“A Bloomington man faces preliminary charges of sexual battery after inappropriately touching a child earlier this year.
Jason B. Smith, 49, of 3115 S. Rogers St. was arrested at 1:06 a.m. Saturday on a preliminary charge of sexual battery. Court records indicate the Monroe County Department of Child Services contacted Bloomington police after an informant told them Smith had inappropriately touched a child younger than 14.
Smith told officers he was a sex addict, according to a Bloomington police report, and that he’d inappropriately touched the child’s genitals “while in a dream-like state” in January or February of this year. Smith was released Sunday on a $5,500 bond.”
