Summary
Three men accused of gang-raping a German backpacker after picking her up from Auckland’s Karangahape Rd on New Year’s Day have been granted interim name suppression by Judge Kevin Glubb. The men, charged with sexual violation, appeared in the Auckland District Court on January 23 and were granted bail, with arguments regarding name suppression scheduled for June. The Crown opposed the continuation of name suppression, and two of the defendants wore face masks during the court appearance.
