KAILUA-KONA — A Kailua-Kona man was indicted on sex assault and incest charges last week.
Kimo Kalanikualii Piko, 40, was arrested Tuesday. The same day, he pleaded not guilty in 3rd Circuit Court.
Court documents state the alleged crimes occurred over a four-year period.
Piko was indicted by a grand jury July 11 on two counts of sexual assault in the first degree and incest. A bench warrant was ordered for his arrest the next day.
According to court documents, on or about May 1, 2011, through Nov. 26, 2015, Piko “knowingly subjected to sexual penetration … a person who was mentally defective, and/or by strong compulsion.”
During that same time period, charging documents also state Piko committed an act of sexual penetration with an individual who was within the degrees of “consanguinity or affinity within which marriage is prohibited.”
A trial date was set for Oct. 24. Bail was maintained at $22,000.
