A 25-year-old Napili man was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Friday for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old female household member in January 2019.

Second Circuit Court Judge Rhonda Loo told Maynard Charley that he disregarded house rules and took advantage of being given a place to stay in the home.

Loo said he not only scarred the girl for life emotionally and mentally, but also left a permanent mark by giving the victim sexually transmitted diseases.

Charley, who mentioned he may have been “buzzed” while in the acts, showed a “lack of restraint,” Loo said. She added that while Charley pointed to his age, the victim was even younger than he was when the incidents occurred.

Charley pleaded no contest to lesser charges of second-degree sexual assault and third-degree sexual assault, in accordance with a plea agreement. All terms will be served concurrently, with credit for time served.

Deputy Prosecutor Karen Droscoski said the victim was not in the courtroom but relayed that “she wants the defendant to stay in jail until he dies.”

Droscoski asked for a 15-year prison term for Charley, noting his lack of remorse and his “off-putting” attitude when police confronted him about the assaults.

She said Charley told police that “there is no such thing as rape” and that he could not resist if someone wanted sex.

Droscoski described the incidents the girl went through when confronted by Charley, who is 6-foot-1 and 160 pounds. The girl notified her schoolteacher about the incidents, which occurred several times in January 2019, according to court records.

Charley’s girlfriend, Tupouahau Fononga, testified that Charley is actually “a great man. He knows he had done wrong.” She added that Charley has since changed and asked for a second chance for him, saying that he “has been honest through it all.”

Deputy Public Defender Danielle Sears said that Charley did not provide a written statement and did not want to speak as “he is so shameful.”

“He knows what he did is wrong,” Sears said in asking for lesser terms, including probation and sex offender treatment for her client.

She said it appears that Charley misread the situation and that the place where he is originally from does not have similar sexual assault laws to the U.S.

Sears said that was not an excuse for what happened but added that Charley did not take the issue to trial.

“He knows he had affected this minor in a significant way for the rest of her life,” she said.
