An affidavit disclosed Tuesday in the John Thomas case that KMAN has been reporting on for a couple of weeks has a few additional details regarding the sexual exploitation case. Thomas of Leonardville was arrested in Arizona earlier this month and brought back to Riley County the end of last week.
The affidavit recounts Riley County Police interviews with Jayme and John Thomas on February 20th, with an I-Pad seized. A forensic download was conducted. Much of the information has been redacted by court officials, but there’s mention of websites associated with pornography.
It was discovered about a week later that Thomas was not as his residence and his employer indicated his last day at work had been February 25th. The affidavit does refer to 100 counts of sexual expoitation of a child. The arrest report from Riley County Police Monday referred to three counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
