QUINCY, MASS. (WHDH) - A Quincy man has been indicted in connection with allegedly creating multiple fake online profiles of women on an adult website and asking men to assault her.
Thomas Sheehan, 46, was indicted Thursday on three charges of solicitation to commit rape, two counts of solicitation to commit rape of a child, five counts of solicitation to commit kidnapping and two counts of wanton or reckless behavior creating a risk of serious bodily injury.
Sheehan will be arraigned in Norfolk Superior Court at a later date.

Prosecutors said Sheehan, 45, stole a woman’s identity and pretended to be her on an adult website. The woman, prosecutors said, was someone Sheehan had not spoken to in years and was not aware that her name and image were being used.
Sheehan allegedly posted her photos and name on the website, along with her address. While pretending to be her, prosecutors said that Sheehan told men he wanted to be kidnapped, raped and tortured.
According to prosecutors, Sheehan used other women’s identities to solicit men for the same purpose.
Sheehan’s attorney said his client did not mean any harm and was just role playing online.
