A man who allegedly broke into five homes and tried to rape three women in Christchurch is due to appear in court today.
Police initially called the man a prowler in Upper Riccarton.
The 45-year-old man is facing three charges of assault with intent to commit rape on a female over 16, five charges of burglary and one of impeding breathing/blood circulation.
Five women were targeted in the alleged attacks.
He was granted interim name suppression, after going before the Christchurch District Court on October 29.
