A man who allegedly put a woman in the boot of his car before sexually assaulting her has been granted bail.

The pair had been known to each other for 17 years prior to the incident.

The man was charged with sexual assault after police received a complaint in May.

He was refused bail by police, however a Court decided to release him after finding that he was unlikely to re-offend.

Charged with Sexual Assault

The man was charged with sexual intercourse without consent, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, unlawfully confining a person and choking.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The woman claimed she had visited the man's home before he allegedly became aggressive and choked her.
