Maui man is accused of rape
A Maui man is accused of binding and repeatedly raping a woman over a two-week period.
Phillip Robbennolt-O’Connell has pleaded not guilty to seven counts of first-degree sexual assault and kidnapping. The Maui News reported the Pukalani man, 48, was arrested last week after a woman reported to police that he bound her hands with a leather belt and choked her until she nearly lost consciousness.
The Makawao woman, 40, told police the assaults took place in remote areas of Haiku and Kipahulu after she befriended him Dec. 1 at a shopping center.
She told police the ordeal ended a day or two before he was sentenced Dec. 13 to a year of probation for the misdemeanor assault of a 20-year-old Kula woman. His trial is scheduled for Feb. 24.
