SPOKANE, WASH. (AP) – New charges for a man accused of slapping the backsides of women along a popular hiking trail in Spokane.
KXLY-TV reports Jonathan Smith now faces more serious penalties after the Spokane County District Court charged him with 11 counts of fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation.
Police arrested Smith April 20, a day after he claimed responsibility on TV and apologized to victims.
Spokane police say they’re taking Smith’s actions seriously and don’t consider them a prank.
