A calm Chris Pine signed autographs and spoke with fans as he emerged from the Ashburton District Court following his high-profile appearance this morning.
A large group of local teenage girls - who were lucky enough to be on a teacher only day - waited outside with a swag of national media before Pine came out of court shortly after 11am.
"It's all good guys, it's all going to be okay,'' he said as fans and media crowded in on him.
He spent about 30 seconds with fans, local teen Harriet Lane, 16, getting her Star Trek DVD signed by the Hollywood star, before he walked through the media scrum to his awaiting BMW 4WD and was escorted away.
