“TMZ Sports has confirmed…Smith’s lawyer sent in the not guilty plea in the mail last week…waiving his arraignment and right to be present at all pretrial conferences,” TMZ reported. “Smith allegedly met the underage girl at her work in Duval County, FL days before their first sexual encounter at his home. Officials claim the accuser’s co-worker made it clear to Smith she was underage.”
At some point that night, the victim, 17, told police, the pair had sex in Smith’s home movie theater and his bedroom. Then, she said, Smith gave her a ride to the lot where she parked her car.
It was then that Smith offered the girl $200, which she turned down, according to the warrant. She told police she was pressured to take the money and relented when she accepted $100.
Smith was placed on the Jaguars’ reserve/retired list.
