CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A dirty old man, fully 70 years old, brutally raped a 17-year-old girl on St. Thomas last year and continued raping her into the New Year!
Police were hush-hush about the case because it involves a prominent “citizen” on St. Thomas and they don’t want his identity to be revealed to a horrified public.
The woman, now 18, said that the disgusting old man began raping her last year but that she was too embarrassed to report the crimes.
Because the man is a friend of the Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD) — police said that they would release no more information on the case other than to say that the person in question is charged with first-degree rape.
In other crime news from St. Thomas, the VIPD said that a man claimed that he parked his vehicle behind a jewelry store for one week.
When the man went to the car to retrieve unspecified items on Monday, police said that he found that several items were missing from the vehicle.
The victim told police that several items that were missing were worth between $600 to $700.
The vehicle had no outward signs of damage, despite the fact that “items” went missing from the car, police said.
