Kauai police are asking for the public’s help in locating a 21-year-old Kapaa man wanted on a $50,000 bench warrant and a grand jury indictment for sexual assault.

Tristian Taeza is described as 5-foot-9, 195 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. He is of Japanese descent.

Taeza became a fugitive when he failed to appear in court on a motion for modification or revocation of probation. He was also indicted on two counts of first-degree sexual assault, for which bail was set at $100,000.

Police said Taeza may have fled to Hilo last month. It is not known if he later returned to Kauai.

Anyone with information on Taeza’s whereabouts is asked to call 241-1711. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Kauai CrimeStoppers at 246-8300.
