A 35-year-old woman and a 46-year-old man, both tourists, were charged Friday with allegedly kidnapping and sexually assaulting another tourist in Waikiki on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old victim was on vacation with her partner when they befriended one of the suspects, a woman named Nagisa Dorch, according to a Honolulu Police Department report.
Around 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dorch, a Japanese national, reportedly took the victim up to her Waikiki hotel room. Dorch and her husband, Darrell Dorch, allegedly held the woman against her will until about 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Shortly after midnight police arrested the suspects about an hour apart at the Outrigger Waikiki Hotel Resort. Nagisa Dorch was charged with one count of first-degree sexual assault and two counts of second-degree sexual assault. Darrell Dorch was charged with three counts of first-degree sexual assault, one count of attempted first-degree sexual assault, and kidnapping, according to HPD Lt. Mark Matsusaka.
The suspects’ bail was set at $300,000 and $500,000, respectively. As of 2 p.m. they had not been released, police said.
