BREAKING: The first #MMIWG Hawai’i report exposes data that the U.S. military contributes to child sexual exploitation in Hawai’i.
38% of men arrested on O’ahu for soliciting sex from a 13-year-old kid online through Operation Keiki Shield (2019-2022) are active duty military.

Predation in US INDOPACOM (that involves grown men preying on minors) appears to be widespread.
From just 6 sting operations on O’ahu, over 2 dozen military-pedophiles have been arrested across service branches: Navy (14), Army (9), Airforce (3), Nat’l Guard (1), + undisclosed

We do not have data yet on whether the military is disproportionately or specifically preying on Native Hawaiian children. What we do know now is that USINDOPACOM has a serious problem with preying on little girls & boys on and off bases in Hawai’i, which intersects with #mmiwg.
Some might assert that #mmiwg and military men preying on kids are two completely separate issues. But there is no data to justify a total separation. In fact, one of our 22 taskforce members was taken onto a US military base in Hawai’i for sex as a minor.
Data that military is preying on kids, whether from Native, local or military families, is appropriate to include in our #mmiwg report & any other report that deals w/ violence in Hawai’i. Burying this information or claiming it’s too nuanced is unconscionable. There’s a problem.
