A former Hood River County sheriff's deputy arrested in September allegedly used a work cellphone to film a minor in a state of nudity, according to his indictment.

Marc Smith is also facing allegations he touched a girl's breast, exposed his genitals to her and filmed and photographed her intimate area, among other allegations. The alleged abuse happened in August and September of 2015 and 2016, according to the indictment.

Smith allegedly committed the crimes while he was off-duty, the county sheriff previously said in a news release. Sheriff Matt English said Smith resigned a week after his Sept. 9 arrest, amid an Oregon State Police investigation.

English said the sheriff's office learned of the allegations against the former deputy after they were reported to the office.

"Although there is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, the grand jury's decision underscores the fact that law enforcement should be held to the same standard as any citizen and we must be accountable for our actions whether on or off duty," English said in an email Wednesday. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim and victim's family."

Smith is facing single felony counts of luring a minor and second-degree online sexual corruption of a child.

He also faces two misdemeanor counts of private indecency and single misdemeanor counts of third-degree sex abuse, invasion of personal privacy and first-degree official misconduct.

Smith is scheduled to be arraigned Monday. He was initially held in the Northern Oregon Regional Corrections Facility in The Dalles and was released on bail.

KOIN-TV first reported about the indictment Wednesday.
