A Fort Myers woman claims a man she met at a divorce support group put listening devices in her home and stalked her, leaving her too scared to return home, a sheriff's report indicates.

Thomas Cash, 33, of Fort Myers, was arrested and faces 12 charges in the case.

According to a probable cause affidavit, Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies said the unnamed woman noticed a red light blinking under a bathroom cabinet on June 15. When she looked at it closely, she discovered it was a recording device with two jacks, one pointing at her shower, the other at her bed.

The deputy reviewed the device and discovered audio files. Two weeks later, the victim called police to report seeing a man enter her home on surveillance cameras. She had also changed her locks.

On June 30, the devices recorded a man entering the home at 1:32 a.m. and 1:56 a.m. The homeowner identified the man as Cash.

She told police she met him in January 2018 during a 14-week session of group meetings for people going through divorce. She said they attended several outings together as part of a group, but were never romantic. She had not seen him since April 2019.

The woman told police that after she found the device on June 15, she moved from her home, too scared to remain there.

On July 2, the woman told police she had received an email, the address listed as one she knew to be Cash's. In it, "the sender stated they had no defense against the things they had done and asked for forgiveness," the report indicated.

On July 3, the woman reported seeing an SUV following her on Metro Parkway before speeding off. She asked deputies to check her car for tracking devices. They found a black waterproof case with two magnets attached to her vehicle.

A Metro Parkway business captured the SUV on video. The victim had told police she knew it belonged to Cash.

Deputies arrested Cash that same morning and executed a search warrant at his home. According to the affidavit, detectives found a two sets of lock picks, USB drives, a laptop and hard drives.

He was jailed on 12 charges, including aggravated stalking, burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, possession of burglary tools, interception and disclosure of prohibited electronic, wire or oral recording devices and installing a tracking device without the person's permission.

He remained jailed Friday on $111,000. He is due in court Aug. 5.
