NZHerald: A man who allegedly tore women’s teeth out with
pliers while having sex with them has lost a bid to keep his name secret.
Philip Lyle Hansen appeared in the Wellington District Court today attempting
to continue his name suppression until his trial next April.
He is facing 11 charges, including assault and sex charges.
Crown lawyer Sally Carter said while there would be a “flurry” of media
attention around the case once his name was known, that attention would not be
sustained until his trial.
His lawyer Mike Antunovic said Hansen was attempting to start up a
contracting house painting business and if his name was publicised it would
affect his work and cause extreme hardship.
Aww, poor thing…GTFOHWTBS
The judge wasn’t going for it.
He declined Mr Antunovic’s application for Hansen’s interim name suppression
to continue.
The relationship Hansen had with the women was suppressed.
Hansen has denied the charges, including using pliers to pull out a total of
12 teeth from three separate victims. He was arrested in December 2012.
