A 68-year-old man who has a history of sexual assault convictions was arrested yesterday on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 5-year-old girl.

Tutau Nuusila, who gave police no address, was arrested for investigation of one count of first-degree sexual assault. He remained in police custody last night pending charges.
Nuusila was arrested after police said a Kalihi girl reported that she was sexually assaulted on numerous occasions as she slept. Police said the incidents occurred from Nov. 10 to Nov. 12.
Police arrested Nuusila at 2:15 p.m. yesterday at a Monsarrat Avenue address.
Nuusila is registered on the state’s sex offender registry. He has sex assault convictions in 1986 and 1989, according to the registry.
He lists a Bannister Street address in Kalihi as his last residence.
