Summary: Deportee Charged (Press, 14 May 1988)
On 14 May 1988, Simone Rothschild, a 32-year-old deported New Zealand transsexual, was arrested upon her arrival at Auckland Airport from Australia. Rothschild faced 19 charges related to fraud and false pretence, linked to dishonesty charges from 1981. She had been described in police records as a gemologist. Arrest warrants had been issued for her in April 1983 when she did not appear in court to respond to the charges against her. In her first appearance at the District Court in Auckland before Judge Gilbert, Rothschild explained that her absence in 1983 was due to her providing evidence in an Australian court trial. During the proceedings, she noted that she had changed her name from Simon Pike to Simone Rothschild by deed poll and indicated her intention to live in Campbells Bay, North Shore. Judge Gilbert decided to remand Rothschild on bail, setting a next court date for 27 May 1988, with the condition that she report to the police daily.
