Teen allegedly sexually assaulted in port-a-potty by woman

A Gulf Breeze woman faces charges for allegedly coercing a 16-year-old male to have sex with her in a port-a-potty last August at the Woodlawn Beach Boat Ramp.

Tina Gale Thomas, 46, 6600 block of Capitol Drive, was arrested Dec. 30 and charged with sexual assault on a victim 16 or 17, a second-degree felony.

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office report states Thomas was a family friend. The alleged victim and his mother traveled from Mississippi with Thomas to her vacation residence in Gulf Breeze. The report states the victim accompanied Thomas to pick up milk, and she insisted they make another stop.

The teenager told authorities that Thomas demanded he have sex with her and threatened to tell everyone he raped her if he declined. He said he consented to prevent her from making that allegation. He estimated the intercourse lasted about a minute before he pulled up his pants and walked back to the vehicle. He said Thomas was angry he stopped.

The report states the teenager waited about five days before telling anyone about the incident. He told law enforcement he waited to tell anyone until after returning to Mississippi due to everyone traveling in the same vehicle on the trip. He allegedly told Thomas’ boyfriend, Mike Owens, what happened, and Owens and Thomas responded by packing up their camper and leaving the area.

The teenager told law enforcement that Thomas repeatedly tried to coerce him into having sex with her at home and on vacation. She allegedly tried to touch him sexually and bared her breasts among other acts.

Witnesses corroborated his statement. Witnesses said Thomas bragged about her sexual act with the teenager.
