JUST IN: Willock approached the police days before his arrest
BVI News has been reliably informed that former House of Assembly Speaker Julian Willock had made a complaint to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) days before his arrest.
The nature of the reported complaint is not yet clear to our news centre but sources close to the former Speaker told BVI News that his exchange with the police led to law enforcers requesting him to hand over his mobile phone.
He was arrested some time after on suspicion of human trafficking. And in a public statement following his release, Willock said his devices are still in police custody.
“I am yet to have my communication devices returned to me by the UK investigators,” the embattled former Speaker stated.
The RVIPF, in the meantime, have described the matter as “complex” and said they are still conducting investigations.
Willock, who is a latest of a growing group of past and present public officers to have attracted the attention of the police, has categorically denied the allegations against him.
BVI News will bring more on this developing story as information becomes available.

I am confused?
This does not make sense!!!
Well sah, that all I have to say.
That is why we will never trust the police too much lies
Ayo keep please off our beloved prince from hog city…PLEASE!
Wig man is a mouse? lol
We sticking with the bvi prince Julian he is one of we
So it sounds like they approached him for his phone, he didn’t give it, the interaction led him to complain to a higher office about it and then they arrested him? this just adds more questions really
Lol… this is too funny!!
Willock will be rich after all this trust me
All the foolishness trying to make our people look bad not going to work; the uk looking for blood and to keep us in slavery
Something smells funny
Who eat the cheese?
This seems to suggest that he is the cause of his own undoing. My understanding is that he approached them and based on whatever the issue was, it caused them to request his devices and after searching them, that’s when he was arrested and questioned. Interesting as he is claiming to be a victim but this suggests some sort of backfiring. This guy just cannot seem to catch a break and its never his fault.
sounds like they targeted Willock on some bulls**t. ppl ran to carry them the wrong news.
Myrun and Sindee gah company now
Soooo when they were looking through his phone they found evidence of human trafficking huh?
I wonder what else they found in his phone lol
Given the esteemed one’s proven propensity for filing frivolous law suits and appeals, I think only attorneys will make any $$$.
all ah dem iz jail-birds
We trust Mr jw
We need more detail on this story.
This is the kind of behaviour Jaspert was talking about in the COI. Crime in the upper part of the government. BVI Epstine( black Epstine must be pressured to bring forward names. And them blind and deaf “i born here must realize this has a bearing on you going to the US on a waiver. Cindy try to show us the Primer short commings but ayo who dont understand the laws of the land and like say say making noise. Same thing diff scenario here. The law makers selling us out our freedoms for pennies.
Hope the premier is arrested next …
Willock creating a lot of unnecessary drama..Seems like he knows something is coming down on him and he seeking public support and sympathy..listening to the word on the street you will think he is guilty, he will get due process.
He is only posting comments that he likes on his site.. Any opinion or statement suggesting that he is guilty of what he is accused of… Some may have facts, some may not but they wont get posted on his site..
The streets known Willock is a man of high integrity end of story
Leave me alone!! Have I not suffered enough at the hands of these colonial masters?!? All of that I do is for my country and fellow squeaky clean comrades. I will be back just you all watch this space and see.
Julian Willock remains one of the best and brightest we got in the bvi so they trying to bring him down
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
‘They’ trying to find some little bit of integrity and save our @$$es for future generations. People like Willock, who was never elected, and too many who were elected, could not care any less about the future of the VI; they only care about their pockets and keeping score over how many people they can push around.
That’s no way to live.
That’s no way to be ruled.
Bvi is a dump
yeah rite , did you say that before you drank the don Q , or after or you had a dream ?
When your former boss is in the hands of the feds, you have to be on edge if you were involved in wrong doing. The feds are honest with their plea deals. The thing just start..
Willock trying to play the race card. The reality is no one has privileges like the local elite. They aren’t Caucasian. Educate yourselves about the reality of the BVI and who the real oppressors are.
where you from is a septic tank, we were just there.
He is also tracking IP addresses in addition to not posting any comments that he deems negative about himself.it only cause him to seriously have his head deeper in the sand or in his case head up is A$$
He say he Suing BVI news. Foolish man.Can’t take opposition. .He upset because he cant control BVI news and tell them what to post like he is doing with his Vino..No one tell him to do what he did..So, he has to deal with the back lash or the consequences.
My phone is my private asset, is who pay for it. Since the government can take your phone they should pay half the price for it.
This damn UK is trying to take over the British Virgin Islands in a sly and tricky way. So they are arresting our officials and public Officers.
How come they are not arresting all them damn murderers, killers, those shooting and gunning
down people along with child molesters and robbers.
This whole thing is a damn setup by the UK to take down the BVI.
my condolences , 2 U now how giving them the info on the p you yapping about or are the your family / or you just enjoying the white lady’s ?
But we see it different –
“This damn UK is trying to take over the British Virgin Islands in a sly and tricky way” – Yes, UK is not to be trusted but let’s not forget, it is the British VI. There is a special kind of local patriotism that chooses to pretend it is not a territory of the UK since 1670 or something. Stop pretending they have no say in our islands like they appear our of the blue.
“So they are arresting our officials and public Officers.” – yes, they are because they our officials and officers of the public who have a role in our community. That role is not to be a rogue player and do what you want or what suits your bank account or friends or relatives. It is to serve the public, whoever they are. Thieves is thieves and when they are dressed up as servants of society but stealing from us and making our lives worse to make their lives better – screw them! They need to operate with integrity. Full stop.
“How come they are not arresting all them damn murderers …” etc.
You all always use this terrible terrible argument to make out like the UK is at fault on this. The reason it is so terrible is because it is an indictment of US, not the UK. it is us who a) do the murdering, shooting, child molestation and robbing – not UK cops. Why does such a small place have such high numbers for the above crimes compared to other places? it is WE doing the it.
Furthermore it us who put pressure on our own to keep our mouth shut and never give the po po any kind of lead. Ever. Even if we know damn well who did the crime. Cops don’t use crystal balls. They use witnesses and concerned citizens help them to stop dangerous and wicked behaviour from happening. Except here. We prefer to let it keep happening, and blame the UK.
“This whole thing is a damn setup by the UK to take down the BVI.”
Down? Down? How much more room it have beneath us? Look at our record on all the above. Look at your twisted efforts to avoid ANY part in the disaster and blame the white colonialists for everything.
This political tactic – very much promoted by Willock for years now – is all a fraud and it helps us to GET WORSE because we convince ourselves it is all their fault.
Blame UK where UK is wrong. Blame BVIslanders where BVIslanders are wrong. That’s it. Be honest. God is watching.
He will be rich after this cause he
will be running numbers up Balo
The Brit ain’t need to take us over. They already do.
We screwed ourself by allowing crooks to represent us.
We have already been made to look bad. I just wish we could get off of this rollercoaster but I fear that things are going to get worse.
