A 56-year-old man was arrested Thursday on multiple charges related to a sexual assault reported in March, according to the V.I. Police Department.
VIPD said Juan Rodriguez turned himself in Thursday with his attorney after investigators secured an arrest warrant on July 7 from the Superior Court. Rodriguez faces charges of first-degree rape, second-degree rape, and first-degree unlawful sexual contact.
The charges stem from a report received March 4, when VIPD’s Criminal Investigation Bureau responded to a sexual assault complaint at the emergency room of Juan F. Luis Hospital around 7:30 p.m. During the investigation, Rodriguez was identified as the suspect, according to police.
Rodriguez was booked and unable to post the $100,000 bail. He was transported to the Golden Grove Adult Correctional Facility, where he remains in custody pending his advice of rights hearing.
