"Eugene has recently come into some money. We believe the complaining witness is aware of the settlement," attorney Victor Bakke said today at Kaua'i's 5th Circuit Court.

But Kaua'i Prosecuting Attorney Craig DeCosta said the victim, now a 21-year-old woman from California, came forward before the settlement. The victim has not filed a civil complaint against Saulibio.

Saulibio was indicted Nov. 21 on four counts of first-degree sexual assault in a 1996 case involving a girl who was a minor at the time and a guest in Saulibio's Kaua'i home. Saulibio now lives on O'ahu.
