A former Big Island councilman who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a child in 2000 has been hired by the Hawai'i County Planning Department.
Keola Childs, who served two terms as a Republican on the Hawai'i County Council from 1992 to 1996, spent time in jail after his conviction for knowingly subjecting a person under age 14 to "sexual penetration."
Childs, 60, is still serving his sentence for the crime.
He was sentenced to serve one year in jail, with 30 days of that sentence served each year. This year, he was ordered to serve one month in jail from Sept. 29 to Oct. 29, according to court documents. He also will be kept on probation through 2020.
Childs is a registered sex offender who is listed on the Hawai'i Criminal Justice Data Center Web site.
