BY MALIA ZIMMERMAN – HONOLULU – The attorney for 33-year-old Malia Arciero, a madam who operated her business out of the elite Oahu neighborhood Portlock for about a decade, has filed a motion to drug possession and drug dealing charges against her dismissed.
Arciero, who said her elite escort business offered prostitution services to some of Hawaii’s most prominent law enforcement, politicians and entertainers, was arrested in April 2013, but on charges unrelated to her escort business.
Arciero admitted in an exclusive interview with Hawaii Reporter that she was a prostitute and madam.
As proof of her business operations, she provided two of her five “black books” to Hawaii Reporter, which listed clients’ names, phone numbers, emails and fetishes.
The black books, several inches thick, also included some financial records, hotel contacts and details of her near decade long operation.
Arciero claims she was falsely arrested for drug charges so that Ryan Faulkner, a Special Agent with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement division, could force her to work as his informant.
Arciero has filed a separate civil lawsuit against Faulkner, who she said she has known since childhood.
She accuses him of abusing his authority, taking money and drugs from drug and arms dealers that he arrested, and sexually assaulting her while she was handcuffed at ICE headquarters.
Faulkner, a police officer with the Honolulu Police Department for 10 years before joining Homeland Security Investigations in 2007, told Hawaii Reporter in May that he cannot comment on the case.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement based in California, said: “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) doesn’t comment on pending litigation.”
She said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) places the highest priority on protecting the safety of those it serves. She maintained the agency has strict safeguards and protocols in place –governed by regulation and policy — to ensure the security of its special agents and officers, employees, crime victims, and individuals who come into the agency’s custody.
However, Homeland Security Investigations appears to be investigating Arciero’s claims. Her attorney, Gary Dubin, said she has been interviewed on two separate occasions by out of state investigators from Homeland Security Investigations about her allegations.
Arciero is currently being held in federal prison in Honolulu. Prison officials will not grant media access to her despite numerous requests from Hawaii Reporter.
Dubin said his law firm has filed a motion to dismiss the criminal complaint against Arciero based on “Outrageous Government Conduct and Entrapment, Coercing her confession, and seizing items without probable cause.”
Her evidentiary hearing is set for Oct. 23.
Did they set a Bail amount for her? They held Roger Christy 3.5 yrs with bogus "charges" and no bail.
Lets see all the pages in the book
Her elite business, my ass, she's a whore who does drugs and gets paid for it. She got busted because she does not know how to do business, she set her own self up, and her allegations are just that, another story to cover up her lies and deceit. Come on now, she's a lost cause, send her to the dogs, her own kind, finally! Hey Malia! Bow wow wow, yippee yo yippee yay! Somebody scream! Cheeehooooo!!! Who let dogs out?! Malia says, "Woof, woof! "
But if you read the allegations she has claimed in the civil suit.. Wow… She cant be making all of that up..It really gives some insight of the real goings on behind the curtain between the prosecutors office, law enforcement and the criminal underground.. reads like a screenplay for a seed film.

I agree. Read the allegations. They are a public record. They are very well set out and there is a lot of information in there that can be verified to show see knows something about what she is talking about. Read it and weep – for the state of law enforcement if even half is true.
