A Tuscaloosa woman was allegedly brutally assaulted by none other than a man sworn to protect her – a former Tuscaloosa police sergeant. Jason Glenn Thomas was charged with violating the constitutional rights of a Tuscaloosa woman by sexually assaulting her in March 2011, according to a recent indictment.
The indictment contains five counts, including civil rights offenses and obstruction of justice. Thomas allegedly made misleading statements to law enforcement officers during the investigation, further complicating the case.
The potential sentence for Thomas is severe: up to life in prison and a fine of over $1 million.
The case is being investigated by the FBI and is being prosecuted by Trial Attorney D.W. Tunnage of the Civil Rights Division, along with Assistant U.S. Attorney George Martin.
It is essential to note that an indictment is merely an accusation, and Thomas is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
A federal grand jury in Birmingham, Ala., returned the indictment, announcing the charges against Thomas. The U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, along with the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division and the FBI’s Special Agent in Charge, all applauded the grand jury for their decision.
As Grimy Times delves deeper into this case, one thing is clear: justice must be served for the victim and her family. The people have the right to know that those sworn to protect them will be held accountable for their actions.
