A man accused of following a woman while she went running in Rotorua's Puarenga Park has appeared in the Rotorua District Court.
Rongopai Pene, 21, appeared in the Rotorua District Court today
facing a charge of accosting a woman on a walking track on September 21 knowing his conduct was
likely reasonably to frighten the woman.
He is also charged with three counts of burglary including entering a building on Pukuatua St on September 27, entering a building on Elizabeth St on September 25 and entering a building on Lytton St on September 21.
Pene's lawyer, Alistair Burns, asked for the case to be adjourned before pleas were entered.
