Tuffey was fined 1,000 New Zealand dollars (740 US) for breaching New Zealand Cricket's code of conduct in the November incident in Christchurch following an inquiry by lawyer Hugh Rennie.

Tuffey had engaged in conduct "with a sexual element" but not sexual intercourse with an unnamed woman at a home in Christchurch before realising they had been filmed with a digital camera for 20 to 30 seconds.

Rennie's report did not identify the people who made the recording but media reports have identified them as two young male British tourists who have since left New Zealand.

Reports have said the video clip was shown to a number of people in Christchurch.

Early this year Tuffey encountered the British pair, was shown the video clip on the camera and deleted it himself, Rennie said.

Tuffey told Rennie the pair had not made a copy of the clip and there was no evidence of any copies. The incident came to NZC's notice this month.
