Criminal charges were dismissed Friday against a photographer who was charged last year with sexually assaulting three young men who were pursuing modeling careers in Los Angeles.
The case against William Isaac Thomas Jr., now 50, was dismissed based on insufficient evidence to move forward at trial after the prosecution announced it was unable to proceed, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Thomas was charged in May 2024 with three counts of oral copulation, two counts of sodomy by use of force and one count of attempted sodomy of an unconscious or asleep victim involving alleged crimes between 2017 and 2023, the District Attorney’s Office said last year.
He was arrested in June 2024 and had been behind bars in lieu of just over $1.5 million bail since then.
It was not immediately clear whether he had been released from custody.
