Eventually, the communication between Smith and the presumed child transitioned to text messaging and phone calls, during which he acknowledged the child’s age and engaged in sexually explicit conversations. Smith repeatedly commented on how mature the child was for her age and made arrangements to meet the 13-year-old in person.After deciding on a meeting location, Smith told the presumed 13-year-old how excited he was, advised her to watch pornography, and expressed that the sound of her voice, age, and photo of her holding a stuffed animal aroused him.
