  • A Dunedin man facing six sex charges will keep his identity suppressed. 
  • He pleaded not guilty to rape and unlawful sexual connections alleged from December 8. 
  • The man will reappear in court on May 28. 

A prominent Dunedin figure facing multiple sex charges will continue to have his identity suppressed. 

The man entered not guilty pleas to six charges at the Dunedin District Court last month, including one of rape and five of unlawful sexual connections, all of which are alleged to have taken place on December 8, according to court documents. 

He reappeared before Judge David Robinson this morning, who extended the man’s interim name suppression order, which also covers his occupation and employer. 

The man will reappear in court on May 28 for a case review hearing. 

He remains under strict bail conditions, including a ban on using the dating app Tinder.
