Tough-on-Crime Republican DA Charged With Ambushing, Raping Woman

[RandySF]

A Republican district attorney in Pennsylvania who styled himself as a tough-on-crime prosecutor—while refusing to pursue charges against anyone cited for disregarding state mask mandates—now stands accused of violently raping a female acquaintance in her own home, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

Somerset County DA Jeffrey Lynn Thomas, 36, allegedly attacked the unidentified woman on Sept. 18, having first contacted her on Snapchat to say he’d be coming over in a few minutes, according to police. A criminal complaint obtained by the Somerset County, Pennsylvania Tribune-Democrat states that the woman knew Thomas in a professional capacity and that she had for years rebuffed his persistent sexual advances.

Thomas sent the Snapchat message at around 11 p.m. last Saturday, the complaint explains. She replied that he was not welcome there, and to please stay away. Soon after, Thomas walked into the woman’s home with an armload of beer cans and handed her one, according to cops.

The woman asked Thomas to leave, but he reportedly refused and became “agitated.” After she slapped him, Thomas hit her in the face and gave her a nosebleed, the complaint states.

1. That nosebleed will help convict him.

Unfortunately, it too often takes evidence of a fight to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

Good for her for pressing charges. It takes courage to go up against a DA.

2. I often wonder just how many of these assholes

are out there. And what is wrong with them.

It's scary. There are monsters walking amongst us.

And he will post bail and then be even more dangerous because he will think it's all her fault that he lost his job and is in all kinds of legal trouble.

3. Omigod, another entitled male!

I hope they throw the book at him.

4. Can we just fucking cut their heads off?

I'm so sick of these defects roaming around hurting people.

5. I wish we could do that

Because sociopathy cant be cured,and these assholes need to be either contained or gone,so they cant hurt anybody. Some lives are worthless and toxic,and will never stop being dangerous and toxic.

Wish sociopaths doing
crimes were sent 6 feet under. Rich sociopath or poor one,get rid of them.

It would make the world better.

7. My anti-death penalty position has a slight crack in it when it comes to these monsters.

I still hold that position and will fight like hell to keep that way but 'these days' are testing my resolve.

8. Maybe their little heads, eh? Sounds suitably Talibanish.

11. Interchangeable in some cases.

I typically don't get so pissed off that use violent language but I'm so tired of the assaults and the enormous damage they cause

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. But but but ... RepubliQon governors are going to end rapists, right? At least one promised it. . nt

[Hekate]

9. Whole article is worth a read if you don't mind nausea. Then one below that about JD Vance...

… (yeah, him) who says of pregnancy via rape or incest, “Yeah, that’s inconvenient,” before going on to aver that he does believe in choice “for women and little boys in the womb.”


(Went back to get the quote right, but the article had moved away.)

10. Glad she reported it

12. I don't understand why

these creeps aren't turned OFF by rejection as normal people are.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Because they are not normal. Sociopaths/narcissists get angry and want revenge when rejected.

They may want to hurt or humiliate the person who has rejected them.
