Man Gets 34 Years in Jail for Rape
A Warner Robins man received 34 years in prison after he was convicted for rape.

A Houston County jury found Alden Thomas, 56, guilty of rape, according to a release.

He knew the victim from church and was accused of luring the victim inside his rental property at 109 Linda Drive after they had recently done yard work in Warner Robins in September 2012.

He'll serve 34 years in the Department of Corrections and then spend the rest of his life "on probation with sex offender conditions," the release said.
