A handyman at a trailer park in Pennsylvania has been arrested after four decades of allegedly raping and sexually abusing children, including sex acts involving a relative and youngsters he was babysitting.
William Charles Thomas, 58, of Morrisville, allegedly admitted to the sickening charges last week during interviews with investigators who launched a probe after getting a tip on sexually graphic writings found on a piece of plywood at Midway Village Trailer Park in Morrisville.
Thomas, who worked as a handyman at the trailer park, had been making renovations to the unit when the new owner spotted the handwritten description of “someone sexually assaulting two very young girls,” according to court documents obtained by The Post.
The girls, according to the affidavit of probable cause, were later identified as the daughters of former residents of the trailer park. But when investigators began searching Thomas’ trailer last week, they found an extensive, disturbing collection of evidence, including more than 1,000 images of naked children, up to 1,000 pairs of girls’ underwear some of which he hung over his bed, dolls that were altered for his sexual gratification and “incredibly vulgar and graphic drawings and writings” recording his decades of child molestation.

Thomas told investigators on Feb. 4 that he had been sexually attracted to children since his adolescence and admitted collecting the images of naked children over the course of decades. He also told investigators about sex acts with a relative and abusing two children while bathing them under his care.
“Some of these writings documented Thomas ‘molesting’ children as young as three years old, when Thomas was in his twenties, which would be during the nineteen seventies, as Thomas also wrote that he was aware some of the children were either asleep or so young that they wouldn’t be able to disclose the abuse,” the document reads.
