A man has been found guilty of ripping out two women's teeth with pliers and indecently assaulting one of them.

The jury took five hours to find Philip Hansen guilty of two charges of wounding two women by extracting their teeth with pliers, two assaults by wiggling a woman's teeth or pushing on them, assault by trying to remove a woman's tooth, and indecent assault.

Hansen's bizarre trial started last week with a Crown prosecutor warning the jury about the strange evidence they were about to hear about Hansen's obsession with teeth.

Three women gave evidence against Hansen of holding them down, using pliers to yank out teeth, sometimes following or during sex.

He has pleaded not guilty to all 10 charges.

He was found not guilty of wounding one woman by taking out six of her teeth, wounding her by attempting to remove more teeth with a screwdriver, rape and injuring a woman by cutting her toes.

The jury heard that he met most of the women through the dating site FindSomeone. They were often lonely and were initially happy to meet him.

He changed over time becoming controlling and dominating, often talking about the women's teeth, saying he could remove them and that he had had some training.

One of the women told of being held down in the back seat of his car and her teeth being removed, then being thrown out of the car window.

One described him as being fascinated by her teeth while another said he told her he liked women without teeth and often removed or broke dentures if the women wore them.

He also encouraged them to have further teeth removed by dentists, making the appointments and accompanying them.

Searches of his computer found 619 searches relating to tooth extraction and for Fat Gummy Ladies.

In a bedside cabinet a pair of pliers were found which had blood and the DNA of one of the victims on it.

His defence was that some of the allegations did not happen at all. His lawyer Mike Antunovic said the women had a sense of revenge. He said one had found the others and talked to them about it, and that they had all gone to the police in a few days despite some of the charges being more than 20 years old.

Wellington District Court judge Bruce Davidson said: "You might think he presents as a bit of a sleazeball," but he warned jurors they had to make a decision based on their head and not their heart.

He told them to carefully consider the issue of consent and whether the women could have given a free and informed consent at the time of the tooth pulling, even if they allowed him to do it.

He remanded Hansen in custody until June for sentencing.
