Sex offender Tom Pollacci pleads not guilty to rape

First of all, I really don't have to explain myself to others, but since you have this need to get personal with me, I will write a bit. Although, I don't think anyone can give you anything to stop the hating. First of all, "Tom" is his name, I have known him all my life. I he does end up in jail, yes, I will write him. I am not brain washed, I am a very nice person, well educated and obviously have nothing in common with people like you who have such a hatred inside. It's almost like you are not human. You act like wild animals waiting to feed on the dead. I feel sorry for you. The trial will determine innocent or guilty. I will always remain a personal friend of the Pollacci family no matter what and wish them all the best and that includes their son, Tom. Not everyone feels like you do, so have some respect for other people.

Respect for other people is the problem here. Thomas doesn't respect women and unfortunately that is the problem. I really don't know why you think that being raped is no big deal and that women should just go on with life as if nothing has changed. Everything changes when you are raped. The way you feel about yourself and others will never be the same and that is not something that any woman, man, or child deserves. It takes away who you are. You no longer trust anyone and that is the worst feeling in the world. You may think that Thomas is the greatest guy in the world but he has hurt so many and it is time to pay the price. I don't judge you for your opinion of Thomas but please at least try to put yourself in the place of those he has hurt and understand that this is just a place to get out some of the pain that has been felt by many for years. I for one can't wait for the trial. If Thomas is convicted then just remember that 12 people who don't know this man have made a decision based strictly on the evidence and not on their emotions so maybe then you will open your eyes and see what so many others have seen, experienced and known through personal experience. People that can be easily manipulated like you have been Thomas's victims for years and maybe someday you will experience first hand what women from all walks of life have already experienced at the hands of Mr. Thomas Pollacci.

If you grew up on the Monterey Peninsula and where out and about in the 80's and 90's believe me you knew of Tommy Pollacci. He and some of his friends where almost proud of their 'quests'. If you really knew what they where up to you tried to stay out of their way. But they could be relentless. They tried charming and when that didn't work, well you can hear what they did. I have actually educated my daughter to walk around the liquor store and not to engage in conversation with him.

If it looks like a snake and talks like a snake and moves like a snake-guess what-it's a snake. Thomas Pollacci is everything he's on trial for and more. He's a stalker and a pervert. It's well known and yet he continues to walk the street. Yes let him have his day in court and hopefully the maximum sentence in the end.

Addressed to Friend that thinks Tommy is still an altar boy or some Angel. Your either too ugly to have had an encounter with this man or in a permanent state of denial.

I feel for all of you who were approached and mollested by Tom Pollacci. I knew of him from HS. I think it was about 10 years ago...I lived in Santa Cruz and came up to PG for the day. Went into the liquor store and he approached me very wierdly. Said he knew me in HS, used to put me in headlocks...he acted like he was my best friend, but wouldn't give me his name. He was playing this wierd game with me. I never had any more encounter with him, but I thought it was very unusual how he approached me. I finally figured out who he was. Never really knew him in HS....and never any headlocks. I guess this was a pick-up line???

I don't live in Calif anymore. I'm just wondering what happened in the trail? Was he convicted of all these crimes??? Please..... someone post the results.

I hope all vicims come forth to finally keep this serial rapist off the streets. For you people who can't believe Tom would do such a thing... I guess you are in denial. Would you trust him to date your little sister?? No I did not think so. Yes he is capable of doing this because most serial rapists who dont get caught (REPEAT) and the rapes become more violent. Lucky that he did not kill his victim this time. And look at all the victims speaking out now. Its not a Tom roast.... All these women would not make such a horrific thing up. They were scared and embarrased. They are doing the right thing now. They are angry because there is no punishment for his actions. I am glad they are doing the right thing now by making sure he cannot prey on any more innocent people. I hope he is locked away for good.

I looked on Meganslaw.com and he is not even registerd. He used to be. Whats up with that??? He should be required by law. Did his daddy pay to keep his name off the list of sex offenders??

I hope all the women who are speaking out of being raped by Tom will follow through and report their attack to the District Attorneys Office before his trial. You can't remain silent anymore. For your own peace of mind to rest assure that he gets the punishment for his repeated crimes against you and others. He needs to be stopped at once. It was a very horrible experience to have gone through. People understand how scared and humiliated you all must have felt. Now that time has passed its time to get angry at what he did. He knew what he did was wrong with no punishment You owe it to yourself to get angry and want justice. You will feel better about yourself in knowing that you spoke up and prevented him from doing this ever again. Do not remain silent any longer. For if you do, he wins and he will be preying on other women.

He has won for so many years. Its time for him to be accountable for his actions. Speak out and let the courts know he has done this many many times before. You must all come forth. He is an adult and knows right from wrong.

Shocking, just horrible, this is not something our city wants broadcast, just lock the nut up !!

Eleve,
If you know Tom like I do, then you would know that he would never hit a woman. This is something that he would never do. He never has and probably never will. If he said she fell, then that's exactly what happened. Why even bring her to the ER if he hit her? It doesn't make sense, you know this and I know this? When it doesn't make sense then it's probably not true. Tom wouldn't hit anyone. He doesn't like to fight either, and I've known him for years and he's never once hit me or anyone else for that matter. I've pissed him off, called him names, stolen from him and did all sorts of terrible things to him. He's not a woman beater. Never has been. So that is a lie! He can be intense and a little stalkerish, but he'd never hit a woman.
