Paul Dominic Clur was arraigned today at District Court on a felony charge of first-degree electronic enticement of a child. A preliminary hearing for Clur, who is free on $50,000 bail, is scheduled for Nov. 4.
The Hawai'i Internet Crimes Against Children unit, a joint task force headed by the state attorney general’s office, arrested Clur on Friday after he showed up at a fast-food restaurant on South King Street to meet the 13-year-old girl he had been having online written conversations with since Sept. 16, according to an investigator’s report filed at District Court.
In the report compiled by Erick Egami, a police narcotics/ vice officer assigned to the task force, state investigator Christopher Bradford was logged onto an online chat system pretending to be a 13-year-old girl when he was allegedly contacted by Clur.
The report further stated that Clur allegedly messaged that he had had sex with a 15-year-old girl.
