Norwalk Man Accused Of Sexual Assault, Voyeurism: PD

NORWALK, CT — A 32-year-old Norwalk man was arrested on a warrant Friday charging him with first-degree sexual assault and voyeurism in connection with the alleged rape of a victim whom he also filmed, according to Norwalk police.

Thom Nikas was arrested in his Hamilton Avenue home on the active warrant stemming from the alleged attack that police said occurred in September.

The case remains under investigation because Norwalk police said there is a possibility that there may be additional victims.

"During the investigation Detectives executed a search warrant at Nikas residence and recovered images that Nikas had taken of the victim after he had assaulted the victim," wrote Norwalk Police Lt Terrence Blake in a statement. "Detectives also recovered images of unknown females that appear to have been taken in Nikas’s bedroom."

Detectives are in the midst of trying to identify the women in the images, and whether they were aware they were being filmed.

"Anyone with any information is asked to contact the [Norwalk Police Department] Detective Bureau at 203-854-3111. The lead investigator on this case was Detective Courtney Downer."

Nikas' arrest was one of two unrelated sexual assault warrant arrests by Norwalk police on Friday.

He is being held in lieu of bail of $750,000 and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Dec. 14.
