The third of three suppression hearings was heard before Judge Gary MacAskill at Christchurch District Court today.
The judge had adjourned his decision after becoming concerned that the man could go on with his alleged offending if his identity and his charges were not revealed.
But after his family gave him assurances that would not be happening, and since police said the high amount of publicity meant no more complainers would likely come forward, he granted name suppression.
Defence lawyer Moana Cole told the court that the man's family had taken a decision not to tell their small, local community which has strong ties with the Islamic community.
She said that if the man's alleged behaviour become known, the whole family would be "permanently ostracised'' - even if the charges were without foundation.
Judge MacAskill said no part of the community could be given special treatment because of its cultural or religious beliefs.
He granted suppression on the basis that if the charges were proven, there would probably be psychological or psychiatric issues that would need to be addressed.
The man was remanded on bail, with conditions, to a pre-trial hearing on May 2.
