Girl was read book at school that encouraged her to report the abuse, police said.

A Gainesville man was arrested on multiple charges after an 11-year-old told her mother he sexually assaulted her and tried to get her to join him in a live feed on a pornography website, according to a Gainesville Police Department report.

Christopher Mark Smith, 41, address undisclosed, was arrested Tuesday and charged with one count of sexual assault on a victim under 12, two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior, distributing obscene material to a minor, and cruelty to a child by directly promoting sexual performance by the child, an arrest report said.

The girl disclosed the abuse after listening at school to a book about sexual abuse, the report noted. She said that, while she was 9 or 10, Smith began to sexually molest her when she stayed over at his house on weekends.

The book, titled "Lauren's Kingdom" and written by sexual abuse survivor Lauren Book, was designed to help parents and caregivers talk to children about their safety. It contains the line: "If you're choking back tears and your heart's filled with fears, you know very well, it's OK to tell."

Police said at one point, Smith tried to get the victim to do a “live feed” video on a pornography website, the report said. The sexual acts occurred at least 10 times, when Smith’s wife was out of the residence or asleep.

The girl's mother told police the child was spending the night at Smith’s residence almost every weekend for about a year until she disclosed the abuse, the report said. Smith was taken to the Alachua County Jail Tuesday where he remained Wednesday in lieu of a $280,000 bond.
