He thinks he can get away like in Malaysia just because of his position?

According to wire reports, the man in his 30s is alleged to have followed a 21-year-old woman home and assaulted her last month. He was charged by New Zealand police with burglary and assault with the intent to rape, each of which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.


The man’s name and details of the case which could identify him have been withheld by a New Zealand judge.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key is reported to have said Monday that it was New Zealand’s “very strong preference” that the man face trial in the country.

Key said the diplomat’s boss in New Zealand had been summoned by officials to emphasise how seriously New Zealand views the situation.

New Zealand’s courts sometimes suppress the details of those accused of sexual crimes in order to protect the identity of victims.
It was reported that New Zealand court officials were not immediately able to provide reasons for the suppression order in this case.
