Maui police veteran's sexual assault trial set for November

Oct 12, 2026

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.
