Second internet dater arrested for sex assault

Waikato police have arrested a second man for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman he met on the internet.

Waikato police spokesman Andrew McAlley said a 36-year-old Te Kauwhata farmer allegedly sexually violated a 31-year-old Fijian woman who had come to New Zealand after developing a relationship with the man over the internet.

The woman required medical attention at Waikato Hospital after the attack, he said.

The man is due to appear in Hamilton District Court this morning, charged with sexual violation.

Police yesterday warned of the dangers of forming relationships on the internet after another man was charged with the rape and sexual violation of two women he met on separate occasions through a New Zealand dating website.
