Maui police veteran's sexual assault trial set for November
A longtime Maui police officer will stand trial in late November on sexual assault charges, a case that puts the department's conduct under fresh scrutiny.
- Devin Schoeppner appeared in court for a short hearing where a judge pushed the trial to late November.
- He was indicted last month on six counts of sexual assault.
- Maui County prosecutors say the charges come from an encounter with a member of the public after a single-car crash.
- The case keeps attention on how Maui police handle people they stop at crash scenes.
Outlook: The trial is expected to begin in late November, with further pretrial hearings likely before then.
