Prosecutors today accused a South Carolina man with allegedly beating another man unconscious at a Waikiki hotel before kidnapping and raping his 10-year-old daughter early yesterday.

Christopher Eugene Cantrell, 27, was charged with five counts of first-degree sex assault, second-degree assault, kidnapping, first-degree burglary and child abuse. He will be held overnight at the main police station cellblock in lieu of $200,000 bail pending an initial appearance tomorrow at District Court.

The alleged attack occurred at the ResortQuest at the Waikiki Banyan hotel, 201 Ohua Ave., shortly before 3 a.m. yesterday. Hotel security detained Cantrell for police.

The child victim told police Cantrell repeatedly punched her father in the face in their 12th-floor hotel room and knocked him out, according to an affidavit filed at court. The girl stated Cantrell then took her by force to the 10th-floor laundry room where he sexually assaulted her.
