    Petition: Keep this child predator locked up

    3 September 2020


    As some of you have read, Jennifer Smith, former junior high teacher at Bidwell, who is accused of multiple crimes against children was let out of jail today at her first hearing. She was let out on a promise to appear. I feel this is very dangerous to our community as a whole, more specifically our children.

    9/3/2020: Oroville, CA: After an arraignment hearing on serious child sex crime charges in Butte County Superior Court Thursday morning, Jennifer Lynn Smith (50) was released from Butte County Jail on a written promise (OR) to appear, according to a notice sent out by Vinelink.

    Smith's bail was set at $710,000.00 when she was booked into the jail.

    • Judicial Officer

    Deems, Michael R

    Chico, CA: Chico Unified School District teacher Jennifer Lynn Smith (50) is in Butte County Jail charged with 10 felony child sex crimes.

    Over the past couple of weeks Chico Police Department has been investigating allegations against a teacher who works at a school in the Chico Unified School District, according to the department who issued a press release.

    A former student of the teacher reported she was a victim of on-going sexual abuse while she was attending the school.

    Based off information obtained during the investigation, detectives from the Chico Police Department contacted the teacher, Jennifer Smith, and arrested her after an arrest warrant was issued for multiple counts of sexual assault.

    During this investigation, detectives obtained information that there might be other people who have information about these allegations or other incidents involving Jennifer Smith.

    Smith was booked at Chico PD and transported to Butte County Jail on the following felony charges:

    • 2 counts of lewd and lascivious act with a child under 14

    • Digital penetration with an object under 14

    • Oral copulation under 14

    • Lewd and lascivious age specific

    • Oral copulation of a minor

    • Oral copulation with unconscious person

    • Sexual penetration of minor

    • Penetration with victim unconscious

    • Possession of obscene material of a minor victim

    Looking at the dates of her charges, this has at least been going on for a decade. Likely before and after. And with kids not going to school in person, kids are more likely to be at home, some without adult supervision.

    After reading this, I called Butte County Superior Court.

    The woman I spoke with said that we can all write letters on why we feel she is a danger to our community and why she should not be released until after her hearing. The letters will be presented to the judge and it will be added into her next court date which is 10/22. When writing the letter, please reference the case number.

    I believe the more letters they get, the better odds we have of getting her back where she belongs, in jail. This petition will also be sent to the court house. So please sign!! The more signatures the better!

    A brave person was courageous enough to come forward to help keep other youth safe! Let’s show them that we back them and want this monster kept behind bars where she cannot hurt another child. Hopefully if she stays locked up, other victims will feel safe enough to come forward.
