A former Stone County preacher has been found guilty in the sexual
battery of a girl at the church he previously led, District Attorney
Joel Smith said. Carlos Smith, 55, of Saucier, was pastor of Unity
Baptist Church and the girl was 11 when the sexual abuse began in 2011
and continued for three years, said the DA, no relation to Carlos Smith.
A Stone County jury delivered a guilty verdict Friday after deliberating about two hours. Circuit Judge Roger Clark set Carlos Smith's sentencing for Feb. 15 and ordered him taken into custody.
