WILKES-BARRE — Luzerne County prosecutors recently withdrew rape and other charges against a Wyoming Borough man who was accused of sexually assaulting a woman outside a tavern in Mountain Top.
Rice Township charged Thomas J. Quinn II, 29, of Breese Street, with rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, and sexual assault after a woman reported he assaulted her inside a vehicle on Nov. 23, 2025, according to court records.
Police in court records say several people came to the woman’s aid as two men confronted Quinn.
Prosecutors filed a Notice of Disapproval of the charges as the case “lacks prosecutorial merit” in withdrawing the case against Quinn.
