HARRISBURG — An elected county prosecutor in Pennsylvania was charged Wednesday with violently raping a woman he knew through work, leaving her home only after she told him she would not call police, authorities said.

Somerset County District Attorney Jeffrey Lynn Thomas, 36, was accused of attacking the woman in her Windber home Saturday. He was charged with rape, indecent and simple assault, strangulation and criminal trespassing.

The Republican's lawyer, Ryan Tutera, said that he was not guilty and that Thomas' wife was working to get him bailed out of the Cambria County jail.

2. what was he planning to do?

Kill her?
To keep her quiet?

3. That guy looks creepy as hell.

He looks like the character in Full Metal Jacket who went bonkers in Basic Training.

[Sympthsical]

5. Yikes, you are not kidding.

That's a brow of nightmares.

[Bucky]

6. Don't fall for Disney propaganda

Attractive people can be monsters too. Ugly people can be the good guys (or at least I do my best).

His looks aren't the problem. It's the rape we should be concerned with.

8. Oh come on, I know that.

Ted Bundy comes to mind…numerous others. Scott Peterson is a good looking guy, so was that creep doctor who murdered his wife and kids back in the day at Fort Bragg, forgot his name.

I didn’t think this guy was unattractive, just thought he looked like the character in that movie. It’s the eyes. It’s always the eyes. Dahmer, Bundy, Manson, Peterson, Watts, and now this creep. Oh and the Laundrie fugitive. Good looking, but creepy as all hell.
