A police officer has been charged with indecently assaulting a fellow cop.
The 28-year-old accused appeared this afternoon in the Auckland District Court before Judge David Burns.
The policeman was arrested this morning and charged with indecent assault and sexual violation by unlawful sexual connection.
He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
The alleged offences occurred on February 5 in Northland, according to court documents viewed by the Herald.
The man's lawyer, Paul Borich QC, sought interim name suppression for his client.
Further details about the case were also suppressed.
Also today, dramatic scenes unfolded on the Auckland waterfront as a seaplane crashed into the harbour, and the city's Lime scooters are set to return this weekend.
