Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Honolulu Police Department officer and former University of Hawaii volleyball player Maulia LaBarre today on five charges of honest services wire fraud.

A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted LaBarre, 34, alleging that between January and March, LaBarre, promised a person arrested for prostitution that he would arrange to have the arresting officer not appear in a court case if the defendant had sex with him.

The case falls under federal jurisdiction because LaBarre allegedly sent wire communications, in the form of text messages, to execute the criminal offense.

LaBarre faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count.

LaBarre will have an initial appearance and arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Judge Richard L. Puglisi on Sept. 19.

The arrest and charges resulted from a joint investigation conducted by the FBI and the Investigations Division of the state Department of the Attorney General. Homeland Security Investigations also provided assistance during the joint investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Nammar.
