WAILUKU -- A 10-year prison term was ordered for a defendant convicted of 34 crimes, including burglarizing residences, stealing credit cards and theft, during a six-month period.
Calixto Hubin, who is also known as Cherry Hubin, 28, of Waiehu was ordered to pay $7,764 in restitution at the sentencing July 26 in 2nd Circuit Court.
In five cases, Hubin had pleaded no contest to two counts of first-degree burglary, seven counts of theft of a credit card, three counts of unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle, eight counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, four counts of second-degree theft, three counts of second-degree forgery, five counts of third-degree theft, fourth-degree theft and habitual property crime.
The crimes occurred from June to December 2016, according to court records.
The two burglaries were of residences at Hale Mahaolu Elua on Hina Avenue in Kahului, court records show.
Defense attorney Cary Virtue said Hubin had struggled with health and drug issues and had tried to get into rehabilitation.
"She didn't do well on probation in prior cases," Virtue said. "Calixto's had a rough time. She does have a good heart."
Hubin had experienced violence in the home as a child, said Deputy Public Defender Heather Brown. She said sexual orientation and gender identification issues also put Hubin at greater risk.
Hubin's brother graduated from the Maui Drug Court program of treatment and supervision, and Hubin's mother will be graduating from the program soon, she said.
Judge Peter Cahill followed a plea agreement between the defense and prosecution in sentencing Hubin.
