Bailey Junior Kurariki has been given until 4pm today to front up at Manukau District Court on sex charges or face a warrant for his arrest.
Kurariki, 20, was to have appeared on two counts of indecently assaulting a female over 16 and one count of committing an indecent act after allegedly exposing himself and groping two women journalists.
But he failed to turn up. His lawyer Jonathan Hudson said he had been told by Kurariki's family he was unwell.
Kurariki had gone to his probation officer who referred him to a doctor.
But Judge Jonathan Moses said if Kurariki was well enough to see his probation officer, he was well enough to turn up in court.
A warrant would be issued if Kurariki failed to appear by 4pm.
