The Department of Planning and Permitting plans a hearing on the project at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 5 at the City Hall Annex.

Sexual assault suspects arrested

Investigation of a domestic dispute between a 32-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman led Sunday to their arrest in connection with the man's suspected sexual assault of a child in which the woman was an accomplice.

According to police reports, the girl, 7, was a guest in a Waikiki hotel between Nov. 24 and Nov. 26. On an unspecified night, she was awakened by the man and sexually assaulted. The woman held down the victim's arms as she tried to stop her assailant, police said.

The two were identified from an investigation into an unrelated domestic dispute, police said.
