On the afternoon of June 24th, after a two day jury trial presided over by Judge Martin Stone, a Coos County jury found former Coos Bay resident Thomas Harrison Wilson, age 34, guilty of three counts of Rape in the First Degree. One count that Mr. Wilson was found guilty of alleged that Mr. Wilson forcibly raped a 16 year-old girl in 1999 on property associated with Mr. Wilson on South Coos River Lane.
The girl was an acquaintance of Mr. Wilson. The other two counts that Mr. Wilson was found guilty of alleged that in 2003 Mr. Wilson forcibly raped a different 16 year-old girl on two different occasions on the South Coos River Lane property. This girl was a distant family member of Mr. Wilson’s wife and had been living on the South Coos River Lane property. The jury found Mr. Wilson not guilty of two additional counts of Rape in the First Degree that related to the second victim in 2003. First-degree rape is covered by the Measure 11 sentencing initiative. The law decrees a mandatory minimum sentence of eight years and four months in prison per count. A sentencing hearing is set for 9 a.m. Friday in Stone’s courtroom.
