A 47-year-old Kent man pleaded not guilty Jan. 25 in King County Superior Court in Kent to first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping of a 14-year-old Federal Way girl.<\/p>\n
Christopher Noel Thomson, of Kent, also known as Christopher Thompson, was charged Jan. 15 by King County prosecutors with first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping.<\/p>\n
Thomson came in contact with the teen at a time when she was soliciting for prostitution in the parking lot of a Federal Way business, according to court documents. The girl reportedly agreed to provide Thomson with oral sex, but refused to get into his vehicle. Thomson then physically forced the teen into his van and took her to a motel.<\/p>\n
Between Jan. 9-12, Thomson reportedly took the teen to five motels, threatening her with a gun, forcing her to smoke methamphetamines and forcing her to give oral sex and have intercourse with him, according to the documents.<\/p>\n
While at a Fife motel Jan. 12, Thomson left the teen alone. She contacted her father and then called 911. She gave a description of Thomson’s brown van and reported the kidnapping, rape and nude photos of her taken by Thomson.<\/p>\n
Thomson was contacted by Milton Police Jan. 12 during a traffic stop. He confirmed that he was staying at the same motel the girl reported being located at. He told police he was there with his daughter, according to documents.<\/p>\n
Thomson was taken into custody and the teen was recovered by Federal Way police, who interviewed her and transported her to a hospital for a sexual-assault examination. A search warrant was conducted at the motel.<\/p>\n
Thomson is in custody at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center jail in Kent. His bail is set at $1 million. He is scheduled to return to court Feb. 11 when a trial date could be set or attorneys from either side could ask for more time to prepare the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
