.....A spokesman for the United States attorney's office, Kathy Colvin, said Mr. Smith was charged in a single count under "Operator Predator" in an information, a government charge that is used instead of an indictment when a defendant is expected to plead guilty. "We anticipate he will plead guilty tomorrow," she said. The charge carries a penalty of between 5 and 20 years in prison plus a lifetime of supervision.

In 2002, Mr. Smith announced an Internet training program called Youth Protection Guidelines for Adult Leaders and Parents.
