ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — A 15-year-old is accused of kidnapping a woman and sexually assaulting her at gunpoint in St. Louis County.

Antoine Dillon was arrested and charged this week with kidnapping, rape, sodomy, first-degree robbery and four counts of armed criminal action. The charges stem from an incident reported in the 3500 block of Sugarcrest Drive on Sept. 29, 2020.

A woman in her 30s told St. Louis County police she was trying to go into her house at about 11 p.m. when Dillon pulled out a gun and said he was robbing her. The woman said he forced her back into her car and made her drive them to a different location, where he raped her at gunpoint.

The victim said she was forced at gunpoint to withdraw $500 from her bank account. She said Dillon then had her drive to another location where she was sexually assaulted, again while he pointed a gun at her.

St. Louis County police said the victim’s allegations are backed up by several pieces of evidence.

Police said Dillon was wearing a monitoring bracelet, which put him at the locations described by the victim. DNA analysis also matches the woman’s statement, and Dillon had an item that belonged to the victim when he was arrested on Monday.

St. Louis County police interviewed Dillon after taking him into custody. He told investigators the sexual contact was consensual.

Dillon is being held on a $200,000 cash-only, no 10% bond.

Editor's note: The story previously stated Dillon is 16 years old, as was reported by police. It has been updated to correct he is 15.

ST. LOUIS—An accused serial rapist has been charged with several sexual crimes and police believe there could be more victims in the area.

Enrique White, 29, faces seven felony charges, including rape and sodomy. Police in St. Louis County, Hazelwood and Berkeley know about four victims assaulted between 2015 to 2023.

Two of the victims say they were assaulted after White contacted them on a dating website and offered them money to clean his house, according to investigators. Those incidents happened in 2016 and 2019.

Another victim alleges White and two other men offered to drive her home from a bar in 2015. Police say they stopped at a home in St. Louis County where White held her down, forcing her to have sex with himself and the other men. White is also accused of taking that victim to another home where he forced her to have sex while she begged him to stop. He then forced her to participate in sex acts to use a phone to call someone for a ride, according to police.

A fourth victim says White contacted her in May 2023 on a dating website, according to police. He then is accused of picking her up from college in Illinois, driving her to St. Louis County, and pointing a gun at her head while forcing her to perform sex acts.

“We believe there may be even more victims of this defendant, and we ask any victim to please come forward and seek justice,” said St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell in a press release.

White’s charges of robbery and sodomy carry sentences from five years to life in prison. The count of alleged first-degree rape from 2015 has an aggravating factor that extends the sentencing range to 15 years to life in prison.

White is in custody and is being held without bond. If you have information, call 911 or St. Louis County Police at at 636-529-8210.

ST. LOUIS — Keisha Scarlett's employment as the superintendent of Saint Louis Public Schools was terminated Monday, months after being placed on leave amid an investigation into the district's budget.

The district's board voted to terminate Scarlett's employment "for cause" by a vote of 5-0, with one member abstaining. A news release from the district said the vote came Monday night after the board held an evidentiary hearing.

"At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Education voted to terminate the employment of Dr. Scarlett for cause, effective immediately," the press release said. "By virtue of this vote, Dr. Scarlett is no longer an employee of Saint Louis Public Schools."

The board voted to start the termination process at a meeting last month. Scarlett appealed the process and requested a hearing before the education board to contest the decision. She remained on administrative leave with pay until Monday's meeting, when her employment was formally terminated.

In a statement, Scarlett said she did not attend the hearing in protest over what she called deliberate violations of her due process.

"The Board actively hindered Dr. Scarlett’s ability to prepare for and participate in the termination hearing, denying her the due process that was contractually promised," the statement said.

The full statement is below:

The district started the year with a surplus of $17 million in its general operations budget but now is in a projected $35 million deficit. Mayor Tishaura Jones and other leaders have called into question pricey contracts issued in the past year overseen by Scarlett.

A state audit of the school's finances began in August and is still underway.

When the board voted to start the termination process, Scarlett said she was innocent in a written statement.

"I did nothing wrong," Scarlett wrote in a response released through her attorney last month. "My leadership decisions were always made to benefit our students and community. When I arrived, the administration was in crisis with significant operational problems, student service deficiencies, and staff compensation disparities. After several external studies and audits, I focused on redistributing resources to support our mission more equitably. I communicated regularly with the Board about these needed changes."

The board previously appointed Deputy Superintendent Millicent Borishade, who has been acting as superintendent since July 25, to continue as interim superintendent through the remainder of the school year, pending the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's approval certification.

Borishade does not currently have superintendent certification in Missouri, which is required for a district to have full accreditation.
