A Lakeland, FL., man was arrested on Thursday and accused of conducting a year-long sexual relationship with a female victim between age 12 and 14.
According to reports, Michael Smith, 26, provided the young girl the “Plan B” contraceptive pill when concerns arose that she may have become pregnant. A box of pregnancy tests were also located, with “one left,” say police.
Smith is accused of checking the young girl out of school in order to engage in sexual activity on numerous occasions.
The victim told deputies that on at least one occasion Smith bought her, “Plan B,” a contraceptive pill for her to take after concerns she might become pregnant. She also told deputies that on occasion, he would pick her up from school in the middle of the day to engage in sexual intercourse. PCSO says that during the investigation, deputies recovered an empty emergency contraceptive box, growth supplements, a box of pregnancy tests (with only one test remaining), and an empty condom wrapper (to which Smith had access). source
Deputies also confirmed school records showing when the victim was taken out of school early by Smith.
