HOUSE CALL: ST. THOMAS ‘DOCTOR’ CHARGED IN VALENTINE’S DAY ASSAULT ON MOTHER: VIPD

CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A St. Thomas woman was charged in a Valentine’s Day assault after police said she entered her ex-boyfriend’s home and hit the mother of his child.

Doctor Kedar, 25, was charged with simple assault, unlawful entry and disturbance of the peace, stemming from an incident which took place at around 4:00 a.m. Monday (February 14), the Virgin Islands Police Department said.

The alleged victim told police that she and her minor daughter were asleep at her boyfriend’s apartment when she heard someone pounding on the door loudly. She did not respond as she and her boyfriend were not expecting company. She then heard her boyfriend’s roommate ask out loud, “Who is it?” While she did not hear a response, she heard the door open and then heard someone knocking loudly and aggressively on the bedroom door. When she proceeded to get out of bed and unlock the bedroom door, the woman found Doctor Kedar, her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend.

According to her statement to police, she told Kedar several times, “my daughter is right here and you need to leave!” However, she said Kedar replied, “I don’t give a [expletive]!” very loudly and aggressively which caused the child to wake up. To avoid an altercation, she attempted to close the bedroom door but Kedar placed her foot in the way to stop it from closing, according to the probable cause fact sheet. The woman told police that Kedar then forcefully pushed her, causing her to lose her balance. She further alleged that Kedar began striking her to the face which led to a physical altercation between the two of them.

The alleged victim went on to state that her boyfriend and his room mate intervened and separated them. She and her boyfriend then begged Kedar to leave and she warned her that she was going to call the police, to which Kedar replied, “I don’t give a [expletive]. Call them!” She later told police that this is an ongoing situation where Kedar harasses her and she fears for her safety as well as that of her daughter. At the time, the officer observed a laceration to the woman’s cheek.
