The Forensic Nurse

Three men and a juvenile offender are accused in an alleged gang rape on the state Capitol grounds over the weekend.

Police said they arrested the men shortly after the incident early Saturday morning. Edward Eter, 26, of Honolulu; Turan Sirom, 23, and Makichi Aiwo, 19, of Kalihi, were all arrested, police said. Police are not releasing the identity of the 16-year-old boy because he is a juvenile.

According to police reports, the 43-year-old woman met Sirom and Aiwo at the bus stop — Eter and the teenage boy joined them later.

According to police, the four men lured the woman to a grassy area near a cluster of government buildings and sexually assaulted her.

A sheriff’s deputy was patrolling the Capitol grounds early Saturday morning when he stumbled upon the attack at the Korean War Memorial. According to the prisons department, the deputy saw what appeared to be four men attacking the woman near the memorial. He called for backup and chased down the suspects.
