An MP's son has appeared in court charged with sexual violation.
The teenager first appeared on May 13, three days after the alleged incident.
He has been charged under Section 128a (1) of the Crimes Act, which relates to the issue of consent to sexual activity.
He made his second appearance last Thursday and the case was adjourned until Tuesday.
The MP said an application to continue the suppression order would be filed on Tuesday, but declined to comment further.
The son's lawyer also declined to comment and the detective in charge of the case would not be drawn on the accused or the charges.
"We are not going to pass on any information. I am not trying to be obstructive ... the matter is before the courts."
