Former Australian of the Year Grace Tame watched as the teacher who assaulted her when she was 15 pleaded not guilty to charges that he threatened, harassed or insulted her online.

Nicolaas Ockert Bester, 70, is said to have posted public messages on the social media platform Twitter regarding and addressed to Ms Tame.

He appeared before Hobart Magistrates Court on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to three charges of using a carriage to threaten, harass or cause offense.

Bester, who did not speak to the media outside of court, was charged by police in October and made his first court appearance in December.

Former school teacher Bester was sentenced to two years and 10 months in prison in 2011 for abusing Ms. Tame when she was at his school, and for possessing child exploitation material.

Ms Tame was the 2021 Australian of the Year and has advocated for survivors of abuse and their ability to speak out.
