A man from Mountain View Arkansas has been arrested on rape charges. 57 year old Norman Smith was arrested after the Arkansas State Crimes Against Children Division received a hotline  call last Friday from a counselor at a Stone County school about a student making allegations of physical abuse. After interviewing 4 teens they found that there was sufficient evidence of physical and sexual abuse against children from 2013-2019. Smith is charged with rape, four counts of trafficking of persons, sexual indecency of a child, second degree sexual assault and 2 counts of aggravated assault on a family or household member.
