Media Release
Hawai‘i Island police have arrested and charged 33-year-old Jason King Hall, of Hilo, with sex assault and various domestic-related offenses following an altercation Monday night, January 2, 2023.
On Thursday morning, January 5, 2023, after conferring with Hawai’i County prosecutors, Area I Juvenile Aid Section detectives charged Hall with two counts of abuse family household member, first-degree sexual assault, and second-degree unlawful imprisonment. His bail is set at $66,000.
The charges against Hall stem from an incident reported on Monday evening, January 2, when Hilo patrol officers responded to the Hilo Medical Center after a woman went to the Emergency Room stating she had been sexually assaulted. The 27-year-old female victim reported being involved in a verbal argument with Hall that escalated to where Hall placed his hands around her neck, impeding her ability to breathe. He also forced himself on her and sexually assaulted her against her will. Following the incident, Hall refused to let the victim leave to go to the hospital for treatment by pushing the victim back into her room.
Hall remains in police custody pending his initial court appearance scheduled for Friday afternoon, January 6, 2023, in Hilo District Court.
