A man accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl was arrested in Smith County Tuesday.
Tony Rincker, 60, is charged with sexual assault of a child, and he was booked into the Smith County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

The document said that when a Smith County Sheriff’s Office detective received the child’s phone in May, they found a conversation between the child and Rincker, who lived nearby. A family member reported to investigators that they saw Rincker sent photos of drugs to the child and the child sent explicit photos.
The phone number that the child was communicating with was identified as Rincker’s. The messages found in the phone were sexually explicit and the conversation also acknowledged something sexual happened, the affidavit read.
