  I believe there is probable cause to charge the defendant with these charges because:

  On 2/10/23 Washington City Police Department received a report regarding an alleged sex offense. The offense was reported to have taken place at a residence in Washington City approximately 2 years prior. Following these reported concerns and special circumstances surrounding the case, Officers would proceed to schedule a forensic interview for the Victim later that day. The Victim in question reports that the offense(s) took place when they were approximately 16-17 years old and advised that the suspect was a Thomas Weaver, an adult that held a position of trust over her. During the interview, the Victim would disclose the following information:

  COUNT 1: Voyeurism 76-9-702.7

  The Victim states that growing up they were always encouraged to dress modestly. The Victim states that despite this upbringing, during their encounters with Thomas, they were encouraged to wear more revealing clothing. The Victim states that Thomas would purchase specific clothing items for the Victim and request them to wear those items around him. The Victim states that eventually, things would escalate to where Thomas would walk in on the victim as they were completely naked in the shower and make sexual remarks regarding their body.

  COUNT 2: Forcible Sex Abuse 76-5-404

  The Victim states that Thomas actions were not limited to just viewing, but that he would also touch them inappropriately as well. The victim states that on multiple occasions, Thomas would intentionally slide his hand under the victims shirt and manipulate the breasts of the victim.

  COUNT 3: Forcible Sex Abuse 76-5-404

  In addition, the victim reports that on occasion, Thomas would make contact with the victims breast with his mouth. The victim states that this stemmed from a unique relationship with Thomas that he seemed to manipulate.

  COUNT 4: Forcible Sex Abuse 76-5-404

  The victim also reports that Thomas would take indecent liberties with them when they slept at his residence. The victim states on many occasions, Thomas would sleep in the room that they occupied, stating that it first started with him sleeping on the floor, and later progressing to him sleeping in bed with the victim. The victim states that they would often awaken to their clothing having been removed leaving them in the nude. The victim states that during these occasions, Thomas would remove his shirt and wrap his arms around the victim.

  FOLLOW UP:

  Following these reported concerns, Officers would receive reports that Thomas had expressed suicidal ideations and the possible the harm of others. Specifically, those who are familiar with Thomas states that he expressed that he was not sure he would be able to make it through the night and that if he did, he would be returning home with a firearm. This comment was of additional concern as it was also reported that recently Thomas had remarked on the Enoch, UT family annihilator incident as something that he could understand, and that he pondered the idea of taking his family to a better place.

  Officers report having made contact with Thomas, near the Washington City Police Department, while the victim was at the interview, and that he appeared to be searching for them. The Officer reports Thomas to be irate and yelling at those who accompanied him causing concern from the Officer.

  After these remarks had been expressed by Thomas and the victims disclosure of sexual abuse document. Thomas was taken into custody by Police for questioning. During the interview, Thomas would agree that he had been emotional earlier in the night, however, would not go into detail as to what exactly caused that state of excitement. When confronted with the allegations against him, Thomas expressed at first that he did wish to contradict the statements made by the victim. Thomas would later recant this sentiment by expressing firmly that he had not had a sexual relation with the victim, at which point Thomas would request an attorney causing all further questioning to cease.

  Thomas would then be informed that he was under arrest and taken to Washington County Jail for the above charges. Given the concerns of harming himself, his family, and the actions taken by him to seek out the victim, and the severity of offenses, I request that Thomas be held without bail.
