HONOLULU (KITV4) -- Police are searching for a man who allegedly assaulted a girl in the ocean near Waikiki Beach on Monday.
The alleged incident happened around 5:30 p.m. in the ocean near the Honolulu Police Department substation at Waikiki Beach.
The victims, who are sisters, told police that they were out swimming when a man approached and told them he saw turtles further out into the ocean and offered to take them to see the turtles.
The two girls held onto the man as he swam out further into the ocean. While guiding the girls to where “the turtles” were, the man sexually assaulted the younger sister and swam away. Authorities did not identify the age of the victims.
A composite sketch of the suspect was made based off the victims’ description.
The suspect is described as being an Asian man in his 30s or 40s. He has short black hair with some graying and a black stubbly beard. Police say he is between 5'4" and 5'8" tall with a medium to heavy build. He has a brown skin complexion and acne scars on his back. The man was last seen wearing black surf shorts.
If you recognize this man or if you have any information about this incident, you are asked to call Honolulu CrimeStoppers at 808-955-8300.
