Seven months after a judge sentenced her attacker to 160 years in prison, the young girl whose mother’s boyfriend impregnated her when she was 10 is getting ready to start a new life.
We are using the name Sophie to help protect the identity of the little girl.
Per Sophie’s grandmother, the Georgia girl has been discharged from the mental health facility in Indiana where she was admitted late last year due to displaying signs of suicidal behavior.
According to prosecutors, Sophie was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Nicholas Thrash, her mother’s live-in boyfriend.
Authorities say the 35-year-old started the abuse in Georgia when Sophie was as young as 8 years old and it continued for years until she became pregnant while living in Indiana with her mom and the attacker.
Thrash was arrested by police in Indiana after authorities discovered the girl was pregnant. She was just 10 at the time.
Her mother was also arrested in connection to the crimes. Prosecutors say she knew the abuse was happening but did nothing to protect her child or remove her from the situation.
Her attacker, who is now serving a 160-year prison sentence, has filed an appeal to the Indiana State Supreme Court challenging his conviction.
In his brief to the court, Thrash says, he’s appealing on multiple grounds.
He believes the length of his sentence is not appropriate, the trial court improperly admitted evidence showing Sophie and the newborn baby at the hospital, and he was improperly removed from the courtroom following several outbursts alleging the child he impregnated was promiscuous during his trial.
The Indiana Attorney General has responded to the brief, arguing that everything was done according to the law in Thrash’s case and his sentence should be affirmed by the appeals court.

3 years of sexually abusing an 8 year old girl? That’s a long time commit the same felony over and over. What grown man does not realize the immorality and legal consequences? Thrash is an appropriate name! If it was a single instance and the girl did not bear a child, perhaps 30 years for one instance of sexual abuse pf a minor. However, doing it for 3 years, that’s 10000% worse, especially if she’s had to have emotional and psychological counseling and hospitalization. He earned his sentence. As for Sophie’s “mother,” I can find no sympathy. She allowed this due to harm her little girl, perhaps for life. She deserves a long prison sentence as well. God bless Sophie for her recover, yhe lost her childhood innocence.
Your excellent posting is what I would have said, but YOU did and it’s SPOT ON, for this PIG, and the Mother should also have a Very Long Sentence for the PIG allowing this to happen to a little girl, as the Mother is also a PIG!
No, he deserves much longer, how about life or death sentence?
That, is what ‘Should have been and to include the Lousy Mother also!
He got 160 years – I believe that’s typically longer than a lifetime and death should occur during that time as well.
This pig needs to be made a eunuch before he is sent to the big house, be placed in the general prison population, and let the prisoners know what he did to this little girl. Justice
WILL be served.
He destroyed that child’s life. Woe to those that abuse Gods innocent. He got a slap on the wrist this time around but he will ROT in hell for sure!
Most likely the other inmates will take care of the pervert.
I totally agree with him that he doesn’t deserve a 160-year sentence, he deserves to die very slowly and very painfully over three years, the same amount of time he abused that poor child, so should her mother.
I like the way you think ~
