WAILUKU A California man arrested in an operation targeting online sexual predators was allowed to return home while his case is pending, after a $300,000 bench warrant was rescinded last month.
Ryan Fu, 28, was ordered to surrender his passport to the prosecutor’s office within a week of returning to California. He also was ordered to appear by videoconference for his pretrial conference June 28 in 2nd Circuit Court.
As a “geeky kind of guy” described by his attorney, “you should be able to figure it out,” Judge Rhonda Loo told Fu.
He was among seven men arrested March 12 to 14 in “Operation Keiki Shield 7,” which was run by police working with state and federal law enforcement officers.
