Joseph "Joe" Kahahawai, Jr. was a 20-year-old Native Hawaiian. He was one of five defendants in the Ala Moana rape case who were accused of kidnapping and raping Thalia Massie, the wife of Navy officer Thomas Massie. On January 8, 1932, Kahahawai was kidnapped by Thomas Massie, his mother-in-law Grace Fortescue and two navy enlisted men in an attempt to get him to confess to assault on Thalia after he was freed by a mistrial. He was murdered soon after he was kidnapped. It was the murder of Joseph Kahahawai that brought Clarence Darrow to Hawaii.

Clarence Darrow was one of the most famous American lawyers in U.S history and leading member of the ACLU, known for defending teen-aged thrill killers Leopold and Loeb in their trial for murdering 14-year-old Bobby Franks (1924) and defending John T. Scopes in the so-called "Monkey" Trial (1925) came out of semi-retirement to defend Lt. Thomas H. Massie. His mother-in-law Mrs. Granville Fortescue was related to the Roosevelt family.

Massie, full-length portrait, standing, facing front, on board the USS Alton at time of trial for the murder of Joseph Kahahawai. On 8 January 1932, Kahahawai was kidnapped by Thomas Massie, his mother-in-law Grace Fortescue and two navy enlisted men in an attempt to get him to confess to assault on Thalia after he was freed by a mistrial. Since they could not house the females in the brig the accused were held aboard the USS Alton.
