HONOLULU -- A man accused of pimping his 17-year-old girlfriend on craigslist will be released on bail.

Bronson Iseri, 21, is accused of rape and promoting prostitution.

The prosecutor said Iseri used an Internet want ad to advertise the girl in Hawaii and California.

"(He was) soliciting johns that way, forcing her to go and have sex with these johns, and then collecting the money that she receives," Deputy Prosecutor Leilani Tan said.

Iseri's attorney, Michael Green, said his client does not deny helping the girl be a prostitute, but said Iseri is not guilty of rape.

The judge lowered Iseri's bail to $65,000, so he can be released to live with his family pending trial.
