CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A third man man wanted for possessing videos depicting illicit sexual content on the East End of St. Thomas has been arrested, authorities said.
Arlington Graham, 61, of St. John’s, Antigua, was arrested Friday and charged with possessing a visual medium depicting prohibited sexually explicit conduct, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
The case began on December 19, when detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau “were dispatched to Cowpet Bay West to investigate an incident where three individuals had in their possession video images/videos depicting illicit sexual content,” VIPD Communications Director Glen Dratte said.
Detectives with the Criminal Investigation Bureau obtained arrest warrants for the three suspects on March 22. Two of those men, Jermain Turnbull and Zeff Blyden, each surrendered to authorities on Wednesday.
Graham accompanied by legal counsel, surrendered himself to officers at the Richard Callwood Command about 5:52 p.m. Friday, according to Dratte.
Graham was arrested, booked, and processed, police said. His bail was set at $20,000.00. Unable to post bail, he was remanded to the custody of the Bureau of Corrections pending an advice-of-rights hearing.
Turnbull, 48, and Blyden, 51, were also each arrested and charged with “prohibition of visual medium depicting sexually explicit conduct. Their bail was set at $20,000 each also.
All three suspects remain at the St. Thomas jail pending further court action.
Police did not provide any additional details about the case, and the arrest warrant affidavits have not yet been filed in Superior Court.
The affidavit is typically made public after a defendant’s advice-of-rights hearing, unless a judge orders that the document remain sealed.
This case is currently under active investigation by the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
