Judge Philip Connell denied a bid by defence lawyer Philip Morgan QC for continued name suppression because other professionals in the Hamilton legal fraternity had been in the "spotlight" over the situation.
Judge Connell said one member of that group had been telephoned by media and then approached at her home by a reporter.
He also said that the woman's absence from her job within that profession would be known by court staff, police and media.
Mr Morgan asked that the man's identity be kept secret until 5pm today so that he could discuss with him the right to appeal that decision.
Outside the court Mr Hoskin's father Greg Hoskins did not speak to media and his mother Delwyn Hanna was visibly distraught.
About 12 family members had made the trip from the Hawke's Bay and Christchurch to see the accused.
The two families clashed as the accused left court with Mr Hoskins' family wanting to see remorse.
The man will reappear in court in front of a judge from outside the Waikato region on May 14 for a defended hearing.
