AG Shapiro to Lean Into the Somerset DA Case

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro has filed a motion to revoke the bail of suspended Somerset County District Attorney Jeff Thomas, in light of new charges against him. Thomas was charged in September following accusations that he sexually assaulted a woman inside her Windber Borough residence. Earlier this week, Thomas was jailed again after he was accused of punching his wife in the face. . On Wednesday, harassment charges were filed against the suspended DA after he allegedly chased another man with his truck. The court also recently delayed Thomas’ trial in the sex assault case, which is now scheduled to begin in September. The attorney general’s office is prosecuting all three cases.
