Disgraced All Black Zac Guildford was last night smuggled out of Rarotonga without clearing customs on a midnight flight back to New Zealand.
The move ended a day on which Guildford met and apologised to the two men he assaulted during his drunken rampage last Friday, and was accused of making sexual remarks to a female triathlete on a training run.
All Blacks psychologist Gilbert Enoka, who yesterday said there were no immediate plans for the winger to leave the island, was with Guildford as they tried to evade media.
Guildford, Enoka and Enoka's wife laughed as they pulled up in a car at Rarotonga International Airport.
When the Herald and other news media tried to photograph Guildford, they drove away around the carpark at speed and pulled into a cargo processing area.
Guildford was let through a service entrance without clearing customs and was taken in a security car to the plane.
When one of the airport's security staff was asked how Guildford was able to board without clearing customs, he said: "You're not allowed to know."
The Pacific Blue flight was delayed for more than an hour, and many passengers were left waiting in the terminal while Guildford and the Enokas boarded for the 4 hour flight.
Earlier, Guildford met the two men he punched at Trader Jacks bar last Friday night (NZT) to apologise to them personally.
Private meetings of about 30 minutes were held with each of the people Guildford offended - and Enoka said later the apologies were well received.
But triathlete Kelly Pick has formally complained to police about being harassed by a drunk and abusive Guildford - and says she will not let it be brushed under the carpet.
Pick, a New Zealander who lives in Rarotonga, came across the 22-year-old while out for a run.
She said it was morning, but Guildford was drunk and yelled sexually offensive comments to her.
She said she feared for her safety and hid in a dairy after being followed down the street.
"I was running along and a couple of guys on motorbikes were driving erratically and dangerously past me.
"Then one turned around and drove back and forth past me yelling profanities and yelling pretty inappropriate things to me."
The 29-year-old athlete and occupational therapist recognised him as Guildford.
"They were quite clearly intoxicated by the way he was driving and behaving. He probably went past about six times calling out these inappropriate things to me to the point where I did start to get quite concerned about his behaviour."
His mates rode away but he kept coming back and continued the insults. She went into the dairy and pretended to buy a drink. But Guildford did not leave for some time.
Yesterday, she said: "I would like to see some repercussions for his actions so he learns that it is not appropriate."
Police took a statement from Pick yesterday and told her they would be in touch.
Superintendent Aka Matapo said Guildford would be spoken to but could not confirm when.
Guildford was free to leave the country despite the complaint because, "we haven't got enough to hold him."
Enoka yesterday contacted Pick to arrange a meeting, which she declined. She told the Herald she would be willing to meet Guildford today - but that was before his late-night departure.
Enoka said Guildford was still recovering from his physical injuries and because of that would not be talking to media to apologise publicly for his behaviour.
