A Wisconsin prison inmate is accused of asking a woman he had befriended to groom two young girls to have sex with him once he was released.
Thomas C. Smith, 45, was charged July 14 with two counts of conspiring to commit first-degree sexual assault of a child and one count each of conspiring to commit child enticement and conspiring to expose a child to harmful material. The 74-year-old woman was charged earlier in the case.
Smith was discovered when prison officials monitored his phone calls to the woman and notified local authorities, the complaint against the woman said.
According to the complaint, the woman befriended Smith while he was in prison, and he then asked her to prepare the two girls. The charges against her stem from acts she is accused of committing on the older girl.
She is charged with conspiracy to expose a child to harmful materials, conspiracy to commit child enticement, conspiracy to commit first-degree sexual assault and conspiracy to commit repeated sexual assault of a child.
The two girls, one 11 and the other 9, were placed in protective custody.
