A Katikati man accused of molesting a woman in the township has freed on bail on strict terms and warned any breach would see him held in custody.
Neh Prashar, 28, who faced a charge of indecent assault of a female aged over 16 when he appeared in Tauranga District Court today, is yet to enter a plea to the charge.
Police allege the assault against a woman known to Prashar was committed at a Katikati address about 8am yesterday, after he allegedly tried to force himself on the complainant.
Police sought strict bail conditions.
Prashar was remanded on bail subject to him reporting to Tauranga South police three days a week, a ban on going to Katikati township and having any contact with the complainant.
