ST. Thomas — A St. Thomas man was arrested after allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl in February, V.I.P.D. Public Information Officer Glen Dratte has announced.
Mr. Dratte said that on March 22, a complainant contacted the 911 emergency call center and reported that a 14-year-old minor had been raped. The complainant said the victim broke down with emotion and said that she was raped about a month ago by an adult male.
