Common Pleas Court Judge Stacy Wall told Smith she was aware of the recommended sentence but would not have to follow it at his Aug. 31 sentencing.
As part of the agreement a motion to suppress statements filed by Smith’s lawyer was dismissed. Smith pleaded to felony charges of endangering children, illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
Troy police said they were called to check on the welfare of a missing teen in April and found her and Smith at a Troy motel. The video was found on Smith’s cellphone, police reported.
Smith was indicted last week in Montgomery County in a March child sex sting in Butler Twp. He is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on charges of importuning and possession of criminal tools, both felonies.
Smith remains in the Miami County Jail in lieu of $350,000 cash bail.
