WEAPONS ASSAULT AND FELONY SEXUAL CONTACT CHARGES FILED IN ST. THOMAS SUPERIOR COURT

Two men face serious felony charges in separate criminal cases filed in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands on St. Thomas, including allegations of assault with a deadly weapon and first-degree unlawful sexual contact.

A busy Monday at the St. Thomas/St. John Superior Court saw prosecutors formally lodge serious felony charges in separate cases, with both defendants scheduled to appear before a magistrate judge for their Advice of Rights.


Dangerous Weapon and Felony Assault Charges Filed

In the first case, local prosecutors officially filed three criminal charges against Lameak Wilkins on the afternoon of Monday, July 13, 2026. According to official public docket entries, the charges stem from an alleged incident occurring earlier that day.


Wilkins faces two counts of third-degree assault, categorized under local statutes as assaults with the intent to commit a felony and assault with a deadly weapon. Additionally, prosecutors charged Wilkins with carrying or using a dangerous weapon with the intent to use it during the commission of a crime. All three charges are classified as lesser felonies under Virgin Islands law.
