A Maui Police Department rookie officer was terminated from employment after she was indicted last month on federal charges alleging she enticed a minor to engage in sexual activity, the Maui News reported.

The two-count indictment against Angelique Abbott was filed Feb. 6 in the Southern District of Florida, according to court records. The indictment says Abbott used the mail or other interstate means to "persuade, induce and entice" someone under age 18 to engage in illegal sexual activity from December 2006 to Feb. 23, 2007.

It also alleges that she traveled interstate on Feb. 23, 2007, to engage in illegal sexual conduct with the juvenile.

Abbott was arraigned yesterday in U.S. District Court in Miami.

Because the case is pending, the U.S. attorney's office in Miami wouldn't comment beyond the indictment, said spokeswoman Alicia Valle.

After the indictment was filed Feb. 6, Abbott was arrested on Maui and made an initial appearance Feb. 25 in U.S. District Court in Honolulu, court records show. At a hearing two days later, a judge allowed her to be released on home detention in Hana on a $50,000 bond. She was ordered to have no contact with anyone under age 18 without approved adult supervision.
