A transgender woman from Hawaii had her boss arrested on charges of sexual assault after she secretly filmed him on Facebook Live making advances at her.
Makana Milho, 21, recorded the incident on July 22 while she was carrying out a community-service order in a park in Honolulu.
She told The Daily Beast that she 'feared for her safety' when a man purporting to be the city groundskeeper began to speaking inappropriately as he drove her through the grounds in his truck.
A transgender woman (Makana Milho left) from Hawaii had her boss (Harold Villanueva Jr) arrested on charges of sexual assault after she secretly filmed him on Facebook Live making advances at her.
In one video a man is heard telling Milho she can go home early if she performs sexual favors, reports the Honolulu Star Advertiser.
He is then heard bragging about other community-service hook ups, which he said included one young mother who was the 'best I had in a long time.'
The 21-year-old also alleges that the man tried to hold her hand and pinched and slapped her buttocks while she was cleaning park bathrooms.
Her supervisor Harold Villanueva Jr., 47, was arrested on Tuesday on a charge of fourth-degree sex assault and was arraigned Wednesday and granted supervised release.

ShareMilho is on probation after pleading no contest to theft of a luxury handbag from Nerman Marcus in 2014. She was cleaning restrooms for six days in exchange for having her criminal record expunged.
The series of videos cover nearly 30 minutes of conversations allegedly between her and her service-worker, one of which went viral and had garnered 197,000 views, 1350 comments and 2042 shares as of Monday.
She tagged the Honolulu Police Department in one the posts, prompting them to launch an investigation.
Milho told The Daily Beast that her boss had told her that no one would believe her side of the story because she is a felon.

Villanueva had driven her to a more isolated part of the part of the park before making his move
The videos have since been taken down because Milho said was receiving abuse messages online, including those from the LGBT community, who called her a 'prostitute' and accused her of 'egging the man on'.
Milho can be heard engaging in conversation with the man and at one point replies: 'I can ask my friend if they have a condom.'
But she told the site that she said anything to keep him in 'his side of the truck' - he had driven her to a more isolated part of the part of the park before making his move - until they got into a more public area.
She said: 'I took it down because I was getting so much backlash.

'People were saying it's my fault. People were making fun of the situation. I wasn't comfortable being a punchline to something serious that happened to me.'
Honolulu attorney Myles Breiner, who is representing Milho, says that she would have lost her deferral of prosecution and may have gone to prison for five years had she not completed her service.
But without the Facebook Live footage, it would have been a 'he said, she said' situation and difficult to prove.
Milho, who was sexually abused as child before being placed in foster care, said that her decision to use Facebook Live had been inspired by the live stream video made by Philando Castile's girlfriend made in the moments after his death.
