Teiri is facing 20 charges of indecently assaulting women over the age of 16. The charges involve eight complainants, from Hastings, Tokoroa and Ōtara.
Teiri failed to show up for five consecutive days of his trial last month.
Efforts to find him and bring him to the Napier court were unsuccessful and the jury which had been sworn in to try him was eventually discharged.
