St. Thomas Man Accused of Abusing Three Siblings Over Period of Years

A St. Thomas man accused of raping and sexually assaulting three siblings over a period of years will be arraigned Sept. 19, according to the V.I. Superior Court docket.

Gabriel Toussaint, 50, a relative of the girls, was arrested Monday, more than five months after the victims’ mother first went to police to report one of her daughters had been assaulted, according to the V.I. Police Department. As the investigation continued, the alleged assaults on the other two siblings came to light, police said.

Toussaint faces charges of second-degree aggravated rape, second-degree unlawful sexual contact and child abuse under the domestic violence statute.

According to a probable cause fact sheet filed in V.I. Superior Court, the mother first became aware something was wrong in April, when Toussaint’s girlfriend alerted her that she found one of the daughters alone with him in his bedroom, saying in a voicemail, “I am calling you before I call the police so, please call me this is something sick, he is doing to your child.”
