The woman went to police earlier this month, alleging she'd been subjected to a two-month-long
00:08
string of attacks by the man.
00:10
The pair met in August, when the woman was homeless.
00:14
Police allege he exploited her situation, threatening to kill her several times.
00:20
He's now facing a total of 19 charges, including rape, assault, choking, and forcing the woman
00:26
to take the illicit drug GHB.
00:30
It's also alleged he filmed some of the abuse on a mobile phone.
00:35
But it took three weeks for police to track the man down.
00:39
In the end, he was found hiding in the roof cavity of the home of one of his ex-partner's
00:44
neighbours.
00:45
They'd called police after hearing suspicious noises in their roof and backyard.
00:52
Police say the man gave himself up without incident.
00:55
Today in court, the man had to be told to sit down by his lawyer when he reacted to
01:01
one of the charges.
01:03
He did not apply for bail and will be back in court next month.
