FREDERIKSTED — Police arrested a St. Croix man on charges related to sexually assaulting two female minors on multiple occasions.

Jelani Marcus Hall, 28, was arrested at 10:15 a.m. Wednesday and charged with first-degree unlawful sexual contact-domestic violence, authorities said.

Police said that they got a report Tuesday that Marcus Hall had assaulted two young girls over a period of time.

Detectives questioned the man about the allegations before arresting him, police said.

No bail was set as per the territory’s domestic violence statute.

Marcus Hall was sent to the Golden Grove Adult Correctional Facility pending further court action.
