The 10-Second DTV Test: Are You Ready?
Girl Says School Security Guard Fondled Her Print E-mail

A school security guard is on paid leave after a female student claims she was fondled on campus.

There is an investigation underway at Highlands Intermediate School in Pearl City. The security guard was arrested but has been released pending investigation. The 43-year-old was picked up for third degree sex assault, which includes inappropriate touching or fondling, but he has not been charged.

He was arrested on the job at Highlands Intermediate Wednesday. The alleged incident happened Tuesday around lunchtime at the school. School officials say the 12-year-old student told her father the security guard touched her inappropriately and he alerted the school.

Police say the young girl identified the security guard in a field line-up. Along with a police investigation, the school is conducting an internal investigation of its own.

"It would entail speaking with the employee and speaking with those involved, and then at that point deciding what next steps need to be taken," said Keith Hayashi, complex area superintendent.

The alleged assailant has been the school's security guard for five years. He's one of two guards there.

Right now the security guard is on paid leave until the school finishes its investigation.
