A man accused of filming his sexual encounter with two women on a Hawke's Bay riverbank without consent has denied the charges.
The man, aged in his 40s, appeared in the Hastings District Court on Monday charged with publishing an intimate visual recording and two charges of making an intimate visual recording.
The man, who was granted continued interim name suppression, denied the charges and elected to have them heard by a jury trial.
The charges were laid after one of the women became aware in May 2020 that recordings of the 2017 liaison had been published on pornographic websites.
Police allege that a woman, in her early 20s, was contacted by the man via the dating app Tinder in early 2017.
