TV star on sex charge

A television personality facing an allegation of serious sex offending will return to court in the New Year. The entertainer - who was granted interim name suppression when he appeared in the Auckland District Court this week - entered no plea to a charge of unlawful sexual connection. It is understood the alleged offending was against a child. He was remanded on bail to appear again in court on January 5. The network on which the personality has appeared would not comment on the allegations yesterday.
