McIntosh fought to keep name suppression on health grounds and was granted interim name suppression by Judge Claire Ryan when he appeared in court in October 2020. However, at a subsequent hearing on November 9, he failed to supply the court with any evidence to justify continuing the order. The Crown opposed name suppression, saying suspicion could fall on other teachers if he was not named, and said more complainants could come forward if he was named. In his ruling, Judge David Ruth said a defendant could get name suppression at their first appearance if they showed there was an arguable basis but had to produce evidence at their second appearance if it was to continue.
