He was acquitted of sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault.
Thomas, 37, a Republican, is required to register with police as a sex offender for 15 years, the state attorney general’s office said.Thomas’ attorney, Ryan M. Tutera, said in a phone interview Thursday they consider the sentence to be too high but that it could have been more “devastating” had he not been acquitted of several charges. Tutera said Thomas maintains he’s innocent of the charges.“We were hoping to see him come home,” Tutera said.
Thomas showed up at her home and she told him to leave, and the physical attack followed, police said.of simple assault, reckless endangerment and harassment after state police alleged that he was seen on a video call punching a woman as the two rode in a vehicle in May 2021.
