DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Authorities have filed child sex abuse charges against a suburban Philadelphia man they allege may have been responsible for assaults dating back as far as four decades.
Fifty-eight-year-old William Charles Thomas of Morrisville was charged Monday in Bucks County with child rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault and other counts.
Authorities allege that the trailer park handyman and subcontractor had what they called “a perverse shrine to his criminal behavior” at his home that including child pornography. Officials said he is charged in alleged assaults on five children but they believe there are more alleged victims. District Attorney Matthew Weintraub called the defendant “a real life boogeyman.”
Court documents don’t list an attorney for Thomas and a number listed in his name wasn’t working Monday.
