East End Man accused of assaulting ex-girlfriend granted $30K bail
BVI News can confirm that 37-year-old Aquino Gumbs of East End/Long Look has been formally charged in connection with a recent violent incident involving his ex-girlfriend at Nottingham Estate.
Gumbs is facing several charges, including common assault, criminal damage, criminal trespassing, and being armed with an offensive weapon. He was granted bail in the sum of $30,000 with strict conditions attached.
As part of his bail conditions, Gumbs is required to report to the police station daily between the hours of 6 a.m. and 12 midnight. He is scheduled to appear in court on July 23, 2025.
Gumbs is being represented by attorney E. Leroy Jones.
As previously reported by BVI News, the incident occurred last week after Gumbs allegedly forced his way into his ex-girlfriend’s home, where she was reportedly with her current partner and teenage daughter. After allegedly entering the house through a window, Gumbs reportedly attacked the woman, delivering a brutal beating in front of her family.
The woman’s partner attempted to intervene but was allegedly threatened by Gumbs, who is said to have pulled a weapon. The man fled the scene and filed a report with the police, leading to Gumbs’ subsequent arrest.
Sources indicated that the victim sustained injuries to her head and body and sought medical attention. However, the full extent of her injuries remains unclear. It is also not known whether her partner or daughter were injured during the incident.
The case has sparked renewed concern over domestic and gender-based violence in the British Virgin Islands. Advocacy groups continue to call for stronger protections for victims and harsher penalties for offenders, amid ongoing regional concerns about violence against women.

Stop beat up women. Their crotch belongs to them. Dam Jack Donkey
True thing and he ain’t even that handsome.
That little boy got cot with 100 pounds of weed they never post his name 20 years old from carrot bay is who you are they put u all over the news
He can consider himself lucky to had came out of that house without injuries. He should have severely beaten by the woman and the new man. That just shows how much of a waste of time he is
But he came through the window (criminal trespass)and delivered an a** whopping in front of her family(aggravated assault) and pulled a weapon(armed with offensive weapon). And the other man needs to find another residency because he is a real punk to leave his woman like that.
