SMYRNA, Tenn. (WKRN) – A former youth pastor in Smyrna was indicted on five counts of statutory rape by an authority figure. Jacob Woods worked with children at Rutherford County Baptist Church in Smyrna. A family member of the victim told News 2 that is where he began grooming the victim when she was 15 years old.
“It’s disgusting. I’ve been going to that church or I was going for 15 years,” the relative who we are choosing not to identify explained.
According to a receptionist at the church, Woods hasn’t worked there for a while, and they have no comment on the investigation.
