Craig Wesley Smith Jr., former principal of Missouri's Lighthouse Christian Academy, faces charges of forcible sodomy and attempted forcible rape involving a former student from the late 2000s. The school closed in March amid abuse allegations against its owners, Larry and Carmen Musgrave, whose charges were dismissed, and teacher Caleb Sandoval, who pleaded guilty to child abuse.
