More than a year after prosecutors in two Missouri counties charged David Smock with child sex crimes, several counts against the former Agape Boarding School doctor have been dismissed.
Dan Patterson, Greene County prosecuting attorney, said his office dismissed its three charges against Smock last week. The Stockton doctor then was transferred from the county jail in Springfield to the Cedar County Jail on April 5.
Smock, 59, still faces 12 counts of child sex crimes including multiple counts of statutory sodomy, sexual misconduct, child molestation and enticement of a child. Prosecutors with the Missouri Attorney General’s Office are leading that case, which originated in Cedar County but is now in Dade County on a change of venue.
