TV Meteorologist Accused Of Groping Daughter

MADISON, Wis. (AP) ― A television meteorologist in Madison, Wis. has been charged with incest after an alleged incident with his 7-year-old daughter.

WISC-TV morning weatherman Jeff Smith is accused of putting his hand down his daughter's pajama bottoms while she slept between him and his wife at their Prairie du Sac home on Nov. 11, 2007.

Smith's attorney, Stephen Eisenberg, says the allegations are untrue and Smith has a normal, loving relationship with his daughter.

WISC-TV News Director Colin Benedict says Smith has been suspended pending an investigation.

Smith and his wife were in the midst of divorce proceedings when the allegations arose.

He was charged Thursday with the felony and is due back in court Jan. 7.
