Heading: Aloha Kona House

Text: Count 2 related to the period of time when the complainant lived with sister and Petitioner at the Aloha Kona house. Complainant's testimony relating to the Aloha Kona house shows how Petitioner continued his pursuit of complainant by lavishing her with attention and affection. She testified that Petitioner would come into her curtained off area early in the morning before he left for work to have her braid his hair and talk to her, telling her [h]ow much he loved [her]. Petitioner continued to create conflict between complainant and her family. According to complainant, Petitioner would tell complainant what sister was doing, what they argued about, if they did, and that her parents [were] trying to take [her] away from him[.] The evidence for Count 2 also established that Petitioner would come into her curtained off area to have sex with complainant at night once or twice a week. Again, this evidence demonstrated how he obtained complainant's acquiescence to sexual acts and avoided detection.
