Last-minute plea to be sentenced Friday

After a failed attempt to change attorneys on the heels of his trial date, Troy Thomas, 62, pled guilty to indecency with a child during his June 9 final pretrial.

Thomas was facing four counts of indecency with a child, both second-degree and third-degree felonies, and one count of attempt to commit aggravated sexual assault to a child in the second degree.

Arrested in September, Thomas was originally booked on seven charges but two have been dropped: injury to a child, elderly person or disabled person with intent to cause bodily injury and exposing himself to a child.
