Police yesterday released composite sketches of three men suspected of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a woman July 7.

The 18-year-old woman told police she got off a city bus at about 5:45 p.m. at the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. The woman said a man got off the bus behind her, followed her and then pushed her into a red vehicle.

The vehicle was in the shopping center's parking lot with two other men inside, police said.

The three men then drove the woman to Waikiki where they sexually assaulted her, police said.

The woman told police she was held captive by the men until about 11 p.m. July 8, when the suspects shoved her out of the vehicle in the Ala Moana area.

The first suspect, who police said got off the bus with the woman, is in his 20s, 6 feet, 140 pounds, with black, spiked hair and a 6- to 8-inch ponytail. He has brown eyes and a light goatee, and was wearing a red T-shirt with a white wave design on the bottom left, blue jeans and white shoes. Police said he also had an earring stud on his right ear.

The second suspect is in his 20s, 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 10, 240 pounds with black, wavy, shoulder-length hair. He has brown eyes, a stubby mustache and a scar on his upper right lip. The man was wearing a white T-shirt, gray walking shorts and black slippers.

The third suspect, who police said drove the vehicle, also is in his 20s, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8, 160 to 180 pounds, with a light beard and black sideburns. The man wore a black bandanna, white, long-sleeved T-shirt, baggy denim jeans and white "Lugz" boots.

Police said the vehicle was faded red with four doors, but no make or model was given.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 955-8300 or *CRIME on a cellular phone.
