An elected county prosecutor was charged Wednesday with sexually assaulting a woman he knew through work, leaving her home only after she told him she would not call police, according to authorities. 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.
