The trial is being held at the High Court at Whangarei, pictured.

The second alleged victim of a prominent New Zealand man accused of multiple indecent assaults has described his behaviour as "not normal".

Day three of the man's trial at the Whangarei High Court began on Wednesday with the jury watching video of a police interview with the young complainant.

Much like another alleged victim who gave evidence on Tuesday, the girl said the man would indecently touch her after pressuring her into receiving a massage from him.

"He'll force me into getting a massage, he'll say 'you need one, you need one'," the girl told police.

She said he had rubbed her chest and upper thigh, and had placed the heel of her foot onto his groin while he massaged her foot.

"I just feel really uncomfortable," the complainant said. "It's not what a normal person should do really."

She said the alleged assaults had happened while other adults were out of the room, or distracted with other things, calling him "sneaky".

She described feeling scared, and worried "that he might come onto me".

The accused has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges of doing an indecent act, including touching the two complainants' breasts, buttocks, and thighs.

One of the alleged victims was a child at the time of the alleged offending.

Suppression orders prevent publication of the defendant's name, the complainants' names, where the offending happened, and in what capacity the alleged victims knew the accused.

The Crown has described the touching as "sneaky and undoubtedly sexual" but defence lawyer for the man, Arthur Fairley, said his client strongly denied the allegations.

On Tuesday he accused one of the victims of making up stories, pointing to photographs of the pair appearing close during the time when the alleged abuse was happening.

The matter came to the police's attention in 2014 after one of the complainants alerted her father.

She said she had previously told another adult that the man's touching made her feel uncomfortable but was allegedly told the accused was "just trying to be nice".

Fairley said on Tuesday that the adult would give evidence that the conversation never happened.

The trial continues.
