A former St John ambulance officer has been accused of stupefying and making an intimate visual recording of a teenaged girl.
Christopher Roger King, 47, of Waipukurau in Central Hawke's Bay, first appeared in court in August of this year but was granted interim name suppression until 5pm today.
Heis facing three charges of unlawful sexual connection, two of indecent assault, and one each of disabling/stupefying and making an intimate visual recording.
All charges are denied.
The charges relate to four different women and date back to January 2010.
The alleged offending against the teenage girl took place in Waipukurau on July 24 this year.
He had since resigned from St John.
At an earlier appearance this year he was granted name suppression on the basis of adverse effects on his family, but no fresh application for suppression was made today.
