Following further investigations, on Monday the man was re-arrested and charged with a string of additional offences.

The new charges include two counts of stalking, two counts of common assault, one count of dangerous conduct with a weapon, one count of entering a dwelling to commit a domestic violence offence, one count of deprivation of liberty and one count of sexual assault.

Additionally, the officer was charged with two counts of computer hacking and misuse, two counts of distribute prohibited recording and one count of distribute intimate images.

The man was a member of the state's Crime Command which conducts serious and organised crime investigations.

He has been suspended from the force and is due to face Brisbane Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

The matter continues to be investigated by Queensland Police's Ethical Standards Command under the oversight of the Crime and Corruption Commission.
