In court, hundreds of pieces of evidence from child porn and dolls and underwear he took from the victims and despite his guilt and no contest pleas made in court as one woman spoke about her daughters abuse, thomas reacted saying, quote, i never touched your daughter. I think that throughout the plea he made audible sighs and said i never touched your daughter so it led up to that disingenuous apology.
