Man drew up "sex contracts" with alleged abuse victims

A Kelso man on trial on rape and assault charges says he drew up "sex contracts" with three women in hope of protecting himself from being charged.

KELSO — A Kelso man on trial on rape and assault charges says he drew up "sex contracts" with three women in hope of protecting himself from being charged.

Prosecutors say the 50-year-old man, William Glen Smith, assaulted two 19-year-old women and one 23-year-old between late 2007 and February of this year. Two of the women are Smith's relatives.

The Longview Daily News reports they testified this week that they signed contracts allowing Smith to touch them in exchange for clothing, a place to live and, in one case, the promise of breast implants.

The illegal contracts said if the women pressed charges the women would owe Smith thousands of dollars.
