When police executed a search warrant at Smith’s home, they discovered more than 20 sex toys.
One of the women gave a victim impact statement at Smith’s sentencing.
The woman, who became a member of New Beginnings Ministries roughly a year before the alleged abuse occurred, said that she had looked up to Smith as a father figure.
“It was a traumatic experience from basically, you finally get the family you always desired, you know, not having a father or mother and even siblings, and then it being stripped away,” she said, according to KLAS.
