A Sequoyah County woman will be serving the remainder of her 20-year suspended sentences in prison for the 2001 kidnapping and rape of two teens.

Sequoyah County Associate District Judge A.J. Henshaw in a Thursday court proceeding revoked the suspended sentences of Deanna Jean Thomas, 44, after Thomas admitted to a multitude of probation violations.

"Miss Thomas, you have totally blown off probation," Henshaw said, adding that he had no choice but to revoke her probation.

A convicted felon, Thomas was charged on June 29 with failure to register as a sex offender, which resulted in the Sequoyah County District Attorney's office filing an application to revoke her multiple 20-year suspended sentences, according to court records.

Thomas was convicted, along with her husband, with a string of sex crimes, including first-degree rape, sodomy, kidnapping, and robbery by force and fear. She entered a blind plea in district court in 2003 for her role in the 2001 incident, and received six 20-year prison sentences for those counts, to be served concurrently.

Former Sequoyah County District Judge John Garrett in 2005 suspended the remainder of Thomas' prison sentences after Thomas served two years in the county jail and less than two years in prison. Garrett ruled that he believed Thomas' husband was the true offender in the case.

Thomas was released and ordered to register as an aggravated sex offender for the rest of her life, as well as follow a variety of rules and conditions of her probation.

During the Thursday hearing, Thomas' attorney, Janet Cox, with the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System, told the court that Thomas would stipulate to the allegations of probation violation.

Cox went through the assorted violations with Thomas, including that Thomas failed four out of five drug tests, changed her address without approval, and failed to provide an address.

"Is it true you didn't have a place to live?" Cox asked, to which Thomas said yes.

Thomas had allegedly moved to an unknown address and location east of Rocky Point Store north of Sallisaw. As of June 11, Thomas had not provided a mailing address, directions to her home or a current phone number, a violation of the state sex offender law.

During the Thursday court appearance, Thomas also admitted to failing to hold a job, not registering as a sex offender in a timely manner, and getting behind on payments.

Thomas waived her right to the revocation hearing and stipulated that she had violated the conditions of her probation.

Kyle Waters, assistant district attorney, said based on Thomas' stipulations, he moved to dismiss the failure to register as a sex offender charge.

Waters said after the hearing that she has 18 and a half years left of her original sentence. She will not be eligible for parole until she serves over 15 and a half years in prison.

"I'm extremely happy," Waters said. "The county feels a little bit safer after today, knowing she's back in prison."

Cox said after the hearing that the sex offender rules and conditions makes it impossible for defendants to comply. She said whenever Thomas tried to get a job, people would call her place of employment and she would be fired. Thomas had no place to live and could not live with her mother because her mother lived near a daycare, Cox said.

Cox said Thomas got back into drugs, and while she did try to go to sex offender classes, she got over $600 behind in payments in order to take the courses.

"Basically she was put in an impossible situation," Cox said. "Until the state provides a way for these people to succeed, they shouldn't be letting them out."

Thomas' husband, Kenneth Thomas, is currently serving a combined 55-year prison sentence after he was convicted in 2003 of two counts of kidnapping, sodomy, robbery by force and fear, and first-degree rape.

According to court records, Thomas and her husband approached two juveniles at a walking trail in Sallisaw and asked them for a ride to their home because they were having car trouble.

Kenneth Thomas later took control of the wheel at gunpoint and drove them to a location in Sallisaw, where he raped the female juvenile and forced the male juvenile at knifepoint to engage in sexual activity with his wife and with the juvenile girl. The juveniles escaped from the couple by running and hiding.
