Aberdeen Man Charged in Sex Abuse

An Aberdeen man faces sex offense charges in the abuse of two teenage girls.

Brian Craig Smith of the 1200 block of Perryman Road has been charged with multiple counts of second-, third- and fourth-degree sex offenses, second-degree assault and sexual abuse of a minor, according to online court records.

The Aegis, which first reported the charges, reports that one of the teens told the Harford County Child Advocacy Center that Smith, 46, made her perform sexual acts in 2010 and 2011. The other teen said her abuse began when she was 7 years old, and that the previous incident of abuse was several years ago, according to the paper.

Smith was arrested last Wednesday, June 19 and remains held in the Harford County Detention Center on $250,000 bail, according to court records.
