      Seems like the only law Hawaii has on the books for this sort of thing.

      Custodial interference in the second degree

      The person intentionally or knowingly takes, entices, conceals, or detains a minor knowing that the person has no right to do so; or

      Based on what’s presented in the article he didn’t say or do anything outright sexual towards the children. I think we all know what his intentions were, but us knowing and the state being able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt are two different things. So I understand why the prosecution went for this as its a sure thing, but I’m disappointed they didn’t even try for something more. When it’s someone poor they throw every vaguely related charge at you to make you take a plea deal, but once again money and influence changes the rules

      Who knows now that he’s in custody maybe they’ll get a warrant to search his phones and see what turns up.

        I know it’s about what they can prove, I only hope that they’re able to prove something a bit more severe.

    It’s ALMOST as if blackmailed pedophiles are being blackmailed into making sure other blackmailed pedophiles are in positions of power. ALMOST.
