   The 35-year-old is set to be sentenced to 20 years in prison.   
      
   A man has pleaded guilty to breaking into a home in the Macalester-Groveland   
   neighborhood of St. Paul in April and raping its owner at gunpoint.   
      
   Deonte Thomas, 34, of Maplewood, pleaded guilty on Friday to 1st-degree   
   criminal sexual conduct and 1st-degree burglary following the break-in on Apr.   
   15, and has agreed to a sentence of 241 months in prison at his next hearing   
   on Sept. 3.   
      
   Police were called to the home on the 300 block of Snelling Avenue South in   
   the early hours of Apr. 15 and found the victim visibly upset on the front   
   steps of the property.   
      
   The victim said she was asleep in her bedroom when she heard pounding on the   
   side door of her residence. She said she witnessed a man — later identified   
   as Thomas — break the glass on the door and reach through to unlock it.   
      
   Thomas initially told her he wanted money and she handed him her purse. He   
   replied by telling her, "I'm not looking for money," and then physically   
   assaulted her.   
      
   Moments after a struggle on the floor, Thomas allegedly pulled out a   
   semi-automatic handgun from his pants pocket and pointed it at the woman as he   
   proceeded to rape her.

   Ramsey County Jail   
      
   The victim told police she was strangled to the point of unconsciousness   
   during the assault. She said she bit Thomas "as hard as she could" on his   
   right arm during a struggle for the gun.   
      
   Following Thomas' arrest, he opted to waive his legal rights and speak with   
   police. He said he broke into the victim's home using a rock to break a window.   
      
   Thomas told investigators his reasoning was due to being "frustrated" and   
   "angry" over his life circumstances. He said he was driving around the morning   
   of the incident and randomly selected a house to break into.
