Police investigating double sex assault

Police are investigating a double sexual assault Tuesday in the Piihonua area.

Sometime between 1-4 p.m. Tuesday, a stranger who spoke pidgin approached an adult female and a minor female in the vicinity of the Piihonua bridge and led them to a remote area, where he sexually assaulted both of them, police said.

The man is described as a “local male” with a dark complexion, in his late 30s or early 40s, between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-8, about 200 pounds with a medium build and a “beer belly.” He was unshaven with short black hair, a black mustache and hazel eyes. He was wearing a black T-shirt, blue surf shorts and black sunglasses.

A 2-wheel-drive pickup truck with a regular cab was parked nearby. It may or may not have been related to this case.
