In addition to the boogeyman comment, prosecutors called Thomas "a parent's worst nightmare."
WPVI reports the victims ranged in age from two to 10 years old.
Over 1,000 pairs of soiled little girls underwear were found in Thomas' trailer in Bucks County. Authorities also found over 1,000 pornographic child images in the home.
"These pairs of underwear were displayed almost throughout his mobile trailer home." said Bucks County district attorney Matthew Weintraub. "This was a perverse shrine to his criminal conquests."
Thomas was arrested after a man found handwritten notes about various children on a piece of plywood in Thomas' old home.
