Overview
- Police say Skye Atoa, 50, was taken back into custody about 30 minutes after release when officers observed him in a store’s perfume aisle near a young female.
- Atoa is charged with failing to comply with a release order after allegedly not proceeding to a court-ordered residence as required.
- He remains remanded, with a court date Thursday on the new charge and a previously scheduled Feb. 2 appearance on earlier counts.
- Earlier charges include trafficking of a person under 18, sexual assault of a child under 16, sexual interference, obtaining sexual services of a child for consideration, indecent exposure to a child under 16, sexual counsel of a child, and three counts of unlawful confinement.
- Investigators link the case to a Dec. 19 response where a 14-year-old in distress reported confinement, repeated assaults, and forced drug use, with two other teens found inside, and to an October 2025 allegation involving a vulnerable 24-year-old; police are seeking a female witness from the store described as having a darker complexion with long dark curly hair, wearing a black top and dark blue pants, and carrying a small white shopping bag.
