ST. THOMAS — 52-year-old Andres Carmona Ortiz of Estate Bovoni was arrested and charged with second degree rape for admitting to raping a 13-year-old boy, VIPD Public Information Officer Kevin Jackson announced on Friday.

According to Jackson, detectives were dispatched to the Roy Lester Schneider Regional Medical Center on Thursday, August 27, in response to 13-year-old boy who placed under observation for a sexual assault incident.
