09:20 am on 8 January 2015

An 18-year-old man will appear in court this morning in connection with twin attacks in the Tauranga suburb of Greerton.

He will face accusations of sexual violation of two women in their Tauranga homes in two separate incidents and the assault of a third woman.

He is scheduled to appear in Tauranga District Court.

The man was arrested in the early hours of yesterday morning.

This came after an alleged sexual violation by rape of one woman at her home in Greerton, and the assault with a weapon of a second woman at the same address during the same incident.
