8/29/2013 – OKC, OK — Another South Robinson pimp has been convicted of violent crimes against women in Oklahoma County – and given far too lenient of a sentence.
JohnTV has previously reported on local scumbag Henry T. Thornton and his one man crime wave on South Robinson Ave. (see video at bottom of article).
Thornton, known on the streets as ‘T-Nutty’ has terrorized women for years by pimping them, robbing them, beating them and even raping them.
Thornton wasted no time starting a criminal resume for himself – in 1998 at only 18-years old Thornton pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine in Oklahoma County.
By 20 Thornton was convicted of being in possession of a stolen vehicle and was eventually sent to prison on a revocation.
At 21 Thornton was convicted of larceny of merchandise from a retailer in Canadian County and given 60-days in jail.
That same year Thornton was charged with grand larceny in Cleveland County and ultimately given 30-days in jail.
In 2004 Thornton was convicted of offering to engage in prostitution in Oklahoma County.
At 25-years old Thornton was once again convicted of possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia – after prior convictions – and sent back to prison.
In 2006 Thornton was convicted of pimping and that too resulted in a prison sentence.
Even though Thornton was sentenced to six-years in prison for various crimes – including pimping – he was released after only three-years and immediately returned to a life of crime.
Upon his release, JohnTV’s own Video Vigilante Brian Bates was eager to remind Thornton he was not welcome on S. Robinson Ave.
Bates was tipped off to Thornton’s whereabouts on Thornton’s 30th birthday – an apartment on SW 33 and S. Robinson Ave.
When Bates, and a local business owner, located Thornton, Bates ran Thornton for warrants and learned that he had an outstanding city ticket – for of all things….. jaywalking!
Bates decided to reunite Thornton with his jail buddies on his birthday by contacting the City Marshal’s office and notifying them of Thornton’s location and active arrest warrant.
Less than a year after Thornton’s December 2009 early prison release for pimping, Thornton committed his most atrocious crime.
On the evening of July 12, 2010, Thornton reportedly asked a woman he encountered leaving a store if she would give him a ride. When she refused, Thornton kidnapped her, sexually assaulted her and robbed her.
It didn’t take investigators long to identify Thornton as the suspect after the victim’s vehicle was located near Thornton’s mother’s residence.
Thornton was arrested, charged and subsequently pleaded guilty on Sept. 21, of this year to kidnapping, two counts of sexual battery and robbery.
Despite Thornton’s extensive criminal background and the fact he committed these most recent crimes while on a early release from prison, Oklahoma County prosecutor McConnell and Oklahoma County Judge Watson apparently think a mere eight-year prison sentence is all that is warranted for these horrendous crimes.
Thornton will be on probation for 20-years after his release and will be required to register as a sex offender.
