Smartt has been charged with raping a 69-year-old man on the North Shore.
Judge Robert Philyaw told Smartt at the conclusion of the hearing, "young man, this is not the end of you. You're 17-years-old and have a lot of life ahead of you."
Philyaw also reminded Smarrt that he will never be tried in juvenile court again.
Bail has been set at $10,000 with geographical limitations and GPS monitoring as bond conditions.
