Fourth man in court over 1989 rape

A fourth man appeared in the Tauranga District Court yesterday charged with rape and abduction alleged to have taken place at Mt Maunganui 15 years ago.

Like his three co-accused, the 45-year-old was remanded on bail with strict conditions until August 2. He was granted interim name suppression but Judge Ian Thomas said that would be reviewed next month.

The man is charged jointly with three others of rape and detaining the victim with intent to have sexual intercourse in January 1989. The others appeared in the Tauranga and Napier courts on Monday.
