Former Jackson Pastor Indicted
A federal grand jury has indicted 44 year old John Edward Smith, former pastor of a Breathitt County Baptist Church in Jackson. Kentucky State Police say, in June, they arrested Smith at a used car lot where he planned to meet a 13 year old girl for the purpose of engaging in sex. A Clark County jury also indicted Smith, alleging he used electronic means to attempt to engage in a sexual act with a minor.
