Two men who were assaulted by a Honolulu police officer in an illegal game room in 2014 are suing the officer, his partners, Police Chief Louis Kealoha and the city.

Lawyers for Francisco Franson and Jordon Topinio filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court over the weekend.

Game room security video from Sept. 5, 2014, shows former Honolulu police officer Vincent Morre slap, punch and kick Franson, kick Topinio in the face twice and throw a metal stool at him, opening a gash on Topinio’s head.

Morre, at the time, was a member of the Honolulu Police Department’s plainclothes Crime Reduction Unit based in Kalihi. He and fellow Kalihi CRU members Nelson Tamayori and Joseph Becera went to the game room to look for a forgery suspect. Tamayori was a Honolulu police officer and Becera was a reserve officer.

Franson and Topinio are suing the defendants for depriving them of their constitutional rights, Morre for committing the assaults and Morre, Tamayori and Becera for covering up the assaults. The lawsuit also accuses Kealoha and the city of condoning or failing to prevent Morre’s excessive and unnecessary use of force.

An HPD spokeswoman said the department cannot comment on pending litigation.

Morre pleaded guilty last May to using his authority as a police officer to deprive Franson and Topinio of their constitutional rights. Tamayori and Becera pleaded guilty in June to withholding information of a crime by failing to report the assaults. Becera also pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI when they asked him about the incident.

By the time of their sentencing in October, Morre and Tamayori had resigned from HPD. Becera retired before he was even charged.

Morre started serving a 30-month term in federal prison in January.

Tamayori and Becera are on probation for two years. Becera also had to pay a $10,000 fine.
