IN - William Smith, 20, arrested, Battery/Strangulation of Two Females aged 17, Dugger, Nov 2019

Thanks for posting. The State Police link you posted actually states:

The investigation revealed that William T. Smith, age 20, of Dugger, IN, on two separate occasions, had allegedly physically and sexually battered and strangled two females under the age of 17. (emphasis mine).​

So, he's 20, not 18, and the girls were under 17. :: puke emoji ::
 
Dugger Man Arrested for Sexual Battery

Sullivan Daily Times

William Smith age 18 under investigation since August for two separate incidents of sexual battery and strangulation of two 17 year-old females.

He was arrested yesterday, and released on bond.

Whew, so glad he's out on bond -- certainly they wouldn't put too high a bond on him because, ya know, all he allegedly did was sexually batter and strangle 2 female persons -- and he's only 18, er, ah, 20 years old. Poor kid. No biggie, right folks??? :mad:..:mad:..:mad:
Damm.

Oops, he really skrewed himself, didn't he?! :cool:
 
Because you are still human, and you care about people and justice. Same with me.

Seems like by now it shouldn't shock any of us, but thankfully it still does. Every time.
You’re so right. I hate this because I feel like these charges absolutely do not fit these crimes & why can’t our gov’t see that?? I mean, who the he** is making such loose laws about these crimes? This violent pervert is OUT how is this right?? SMH MOO
 
Hoping somebody reports on his hearing today. Otherwise, IDK how fast updates show on mycase.
 
I see there is very little interest with this case. It’s a shame because this is a very very unique crime... Has anyone done any digging into this?? I’ve been rather busy & have not had the time to nose around.
MOO
