A man allegedly raped a woman with an intellectual disability over five days, less than a week after being sentenced for unrelated crimes.
The man, who has not been named at this stage, unsuccessfully applied for bail in the ACT Magistrates Court on Wednesday, August 5.
The 38-year-old, who repeatedly spoke throughout proceedings, loudly said "f--- sake," as he was being escorted out of the courtroom by corrections officers.
He has pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual intercourse without consent.
It is understood the alleged victim was at a friend's home when she was allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted by the man over five days from July 10 to 15.
The court heard the 38-year-old had been handed a suspended sentence with a good behaviour order just four days before the alleged sexual assaults.
On Wednesday, a prosecutor opposed bail on the likelihood of the man interfering with evidence, reoffending, and endangering the safety and welfare of the alleged victim.
He labelled the crime "horrific" and "a violent assault".
The prosecutor said the man was also accused of trying to destroy evidence by telling the woman to "wash it off in the shower".
The court heard the 25-page NSW criminal history included convictions in the ACT, South Australia and NSW.
Applying for bail, defence lawyer Hassan Ameen said his client was a vulnerable person in custody due to diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADHD and an intellectual disability.
Mr Ameen argued the man could stay with his mother in Mudgee with a condition not to enter the ACT except for court or legal appointments.
Special magistrate Lucinda Wilson denied bail, finding there was "a very grave risk" of the man not complying with court orders and an "extremely high likelihood" of him committing more crimes.
She said his extensive criminal history was littered with dozens of examples of him contravening court orders.
"[There is an] extremely high risk that he will interfere with evidence [and] intimidate a witness," Ms Wilson said.
The man was remanded in custody and is set to return to court next month.
