Posted on Sep 15, 2017 in Latest Department NewsHONOLULU – Attorney General Doug Chin announced that a Kauai grand jury this week indicted Lihue resident Damian Loo for harassment by stalking and use of a computer in the commission of a separate crime.
While employed at the Kauai police department, Loo allegedly used the computer surveillance system to watch a civilian female co-worker as she came and went to work for approximately three weeks earlier this year.
Attorney General Chin stated: “Harassment by stalking victimizes individuals and hurts them. Don’t do it.”

Loo is 49 years old and has no prior convictions. He posted bail in the amount of $1,000.00. He is presumed innocent unless and until he is found guilty of the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. A copy of the indictment is attached.
