Re: Democrat sex criminal Marvin Smith.

A Darby Township commissioner has been arrested in Philadelphia 
after police said he lured a 15-year-old into his vehicle and 
sexually assaulted him in 2017.

Marvin E. Smith, 50, one of five commissioners on the Delaware 
County township’s governing body, turned himself in Tuesday to the 
Philadelphia Special Victims Unit; a warrant for his arrest had been 
issued in late November. He faces charges of rape, sexual assault, 
luring, corruption of a minor, and related charges.

Police said the victim told investigators in 2019 that he had been 
sexually assaulted by Smith in August 2017, when Smith approached 
him in West Philadelphia and offered him a ride home, saying he was 
a family friend. Smith then drove the child to a nearby park, 
exposed himself, then sexually assaulted the boy, police said. He 
then dropped the victim off at “an unknown location” and drove away, 
they said.

Smith, a Democrat, was elected in 2019 to represent the township’s 
1st Ward.
