A Hilo grand jury indicted 25-year-old Jaiden Becerra of Mississippi following a series of domestic incidents that occurred between January 22, 2026 and January 29, 2026 at a Mt. View residence.
According to police, Becerra was arrested on January 29, 2026 and charged with kidnapping and abuse charges with bail originally set at $178,000. On Wednesday, Prosecutors presented the case before a Hilo grand jury, requesting the issuance of a no bail warrant. Three additional counts of sexual assault were also included within the indictment.
On February 6, Becerra made his initial Hilo Circuit Court appearance where the Court ordered he be held without bail.
Jury trial is scheduled for June 22, 2026. As the Indictment alleges, Becerra is charged with Kidnapping, three counts of Felony Abuse of a Family or Household Member (“Abuse”) (minor present during physical abuse), two counts of Felony Abuse (by impeding the normal breathing or circulation of the blood by applying pressure on the throat or neck), Felony Abuse (by impeding the normal breathing or circulation of the blood by blocking the nose and mouth), misdemeanor Abuse (of a minor), petty misdemeanor Abuse, and three counts of Sexual Assault in the Second Degree. The most serious charge, Kidnapping, is a class A felony offense and carries a penalty of a twenty-year prison term. Sexual Assault in the Second Degree is a class B felony offense and carries a penalty of either a ten-year prison term or five years probation and up to eighteen months in jail. Felony Abuse is a class C felony offense and carries a penalty of either a five-year prison term or five yeas probation and up to twelve months in jail.
