Father in rape case sentenced

FORT MADISON -- A 44-year-old man who authorities say acted with his son in raping a teenage girl inside their home in January is going to prison.

Jeffrey Gene Thomas was sentenced Friday to serve five years in prison for assault with intent to commit sexual abuse.

Thomas also was tagged with a sexual offender special sentence, which means he will be under supervision for several years after he has served his prison term. He also must register as a sex offender for 10 years, unless discharged sooner. The special sentence also imposes a mandatory two-year prison term for the first probation revocation and a mandatory five-year prison term for any second or subsequent revocation.

Thomas' son, Geoffrey Gene Thomas, 19, was handed a two-year suspended prison term for assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, an aggravated misdemeanor, immediately following a guilty plea in February. He, too, was tagged with the special sentence.

In May, Geoffrey Thomas' probation was revoked, and he was sent to serve the original two-year prison term.

Fort Madison police said the charges against the Thomases stemmed from a call authorities received from an emergency room doctor at the Fort Madison Community Hospital Jan. 8 about a 14-year-old girl who said she was raped inside the father and son's home.

She, and two other 14-year-old girls who spoke to police, told detectives Thomas had provided two of the girls -- including the victim -- vodka and whiskey to drink and some marijuana to smoke.

Authorities said the victim became ill from the alcohol and went to a room. The father and son soon followed, police said.

It was inside the room that Jeffrey and Geoffrey Thomas took turns in raping the girl, authorities said.
