   A Darby Township commissioner has been arrested in Philadelphia   
   after police said he lured a 15-year-old into his vehicle and   
   sexually assaulted him in 2017.   
      
   Marvin E. Smith, 50, one of five commissioners on the Delaware   
   County township’s governing body, turned himself in Tuesday to the   
   Philadelphia Special Victims Unit; a warrant for his arrest had been   
   issued in late November. He faces charges of rape, sexual assault,   
   luring, corruption of a minor, and related charges.   
      
   Police said the victim told investigators in 2019 that he had been   
   sexually assaulted by Smith in August 2017, when Smith approached   
   him in West Philadelphia and offered him a ride home, saying he was   
   a family friend. Smith then drove the child to a nearby park,   
   exposed himself, then sexually assaulted the boy, police said. He   
   then dropped the victim off at “an unknown location” and drove away,   
   they said.   
      
   Smith, a Democrat, was elected in 2019 to represent the township’s   
   1st Ward.
