Justin Vincent Yow, 25, was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct, a first-degree felony, following allegations that he sexually assaulted a teenage girl.
According to the complaint, police received the report June 26. The girl told authorities the incident occurred May 20, at a residence in Dededo, when she was 15 years old.
"She was asleep, face down, in the living room of the residence she resided at ... in Dededo. Then, at sometime between 12:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m., on May 20, 2026, she was awakened by someone touching her buttocks. She turned and saw that it was Justin Vincent Yow," the complaint alleges.
Yow and the girl are related, according to the complaint, which states that she "pushed Yow away and asked what he was doing."
Yow allegedly did not respond and left the residence.
A follow-up investigation began Oct. 14, focusing on tracking Yow, according to the complaint. Authorities did not meet with him until Nov. 9.
During that meeting, Yow confirmed that he lived at the same residence as the girl at the time of the alleged incident, police said. He denied the allegations but acknowledged receiving a phone call from his aunt regarding the matter.
Yow was released on a $7,000 personal recognizance bond.
