CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A Virgin Islands Police Department officer was charged with first-degree rape today.
Mikhail Woodley, 30, was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree rape-domestic violence, the VIPD said.
A St. Thomas woman told police that she was sexually assaulted by the police officer at her residence last month.
The Domestic Violence Unit met with a woman on Thursday who said on June 21 a man forced himself on her, pushing and pinning her to the bed while removing her clothing, and sexually assaulted her.
Woodley was booked, processed and turned over to the Bureau of Corrections pending an advice of rights hearing, according to the VIPD.
No bail was set as per Domestic Violence Law.
