Thomas, on Sept. 22 with rape, indecent and simple assault, strangulation and criminal trespassing in connection with the Sept. 18 attack. Police said that the woman and Thomas had known each other for years "in a professional capacity" and that he had repeatedly tried to initiate a "sexual relationship" with her.
