subsequently pleaded guilty in 2010 to one count of an indecent act with a child as well as eight counts of aggravated sexual battery, and is currently serving a 17 year sentence. HBA President Richard Bento remarked that Duffer's arrest was "shocking," and that he was personally unaware of any suspicions or allegations against Duffer at the time of his employment with the school. In 2012, Hawaii News Now reported that a male teacher at HBA had allegedly engaged in sexual relations with a 17 year old male senior student. According to the report, one sexual encounter was alleged to have occurred at Pu'u Kahea Conference Center, a camping facility in Waianae at which students from grades 7 through 12 spend time annually. The teacher, who had been employed for two years, resigned due to the allegations. The report notes that HBA maintains a strict religious code of conduct that explicitly forbids homosexual behavior as "sexually immoral." Presidents + Hugh P. McCormick Stanley A.
