A former Morgan County pastor accused of several sex crimes involving a 16 year old girl dating back to 2005 will go on trial next month. Travis Smith was back in Laclede County Circuit Court last week for a pre-trial conference on charges of statutory rape and statutory sodomy. Smith’s trial is set to begin on April 18th and is expected to last 5 days. A Moniteau County judge declared a mistrial in December due to a potential juror commenting about a witness during the jury selection process.
