Two 13-year-old boys have been arrested after a 12-year-old girl told police she was held against her will and sexually assaulted by the pair this past Friday through Sunday on the grounds of the Kamehameha Schools Kapalama campus.
School officials issued a statement, but said little about the allegations.
"Kamehameha Schools and the Honolulu Police Department are investigating a situation involving several Kamehameha Middle School students that was reported to school administrators early (Monday)," the statement said. "The police investigation involves a criminal complaint, and Kamehameha is cooperating fully with HPD in its inquiry.
"The internal Kamehameha Schools investigation is looking into potential violations of its student Code of Conduct, with any consequences to be determined in accordance with school policy. Because this investigation deals with potential disciplinary action involving minors, details will not be discussed or released publicly by Kamehameha Schools," the statement said.
The two boys were arrested on suspicion of six counts of first-degree sexual assault, five counts of third-degree sexual assault, three counts of kidnapping and one count of burglary.
The boys are being held at the Alder Street detention facility pending a meeting between prosecutors and police.
