Police prosecutor Glenn Pascoe asked for interim name suppression as there were "other interested parties" and prosecution needed to "get their ducks in a row".
Judge Tom Gilbert granted interim name suppression but warned police they must have proper grounds for suppression filed before the next court appearance.
The man was remanded on bail, with conditions that he must live at a specified address, surrender his passport to police, not to leave the country or associate with the complainant, and to report to a police station once a week.
