U.S. Marshals Capture Hawaii Child Rape Fugitive in Worcester

UPDATE: A woman wanted for child rape in Hawaii has been arrested in Worcester, Massachusetts. Coleen Kuamo`o, 43, also known as Malama Kuamo`o, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals as part of a nationwide fugitive investigation.

Authorities confirm that Kuamo`o is wanted on serious charges, including one count of sexual assault in the first degree, three counts of sexual assault in the third degree, and one count of using a computer in the commission of a crime. These charges stem from an alleged assault on a child in Wailuku, Hawaii.

Acting U.S. Marshal for Massachusetts, Kevin Neal, issued a stern warning: “Anyone who thinks they can flee across the country to avoid facing justice is mistaken.” He emphasized that the U.S. Marshals Service is dedicated to ensuring that fugitives are apprehended, regardless of where they attempt to hide.
