Adrian Nathaniel Andrews, 33, appeared in court earlier this month on numerous charges of sexual intercourse without consent, assault with the intention of engaging in sexual intercourse without consent, and unlawfully choking another person.
He has not yet entered pleas to the charges, which stem from an incident that allegedly took place at Andrews' flat after he met up with a woman he met via an online dating website.
Court documents said the pair had exchanged texts, which included messages of a sexual nature from Andrews, before they agreed to meet after his work Christmas party on the night of December 11.
The pair was drinking wine when the woman said she noticed a change in Andrews' eyes before he allegedly slapped her, called her a "dirty s---", and then grabbed her by the throat and squeezed.
Andrews then slapped her again, partially stripped her, and pushed her to her knees where he violently forced her to perform oral sex, according to police facts.
He then allegedly stood her up, bit her on the neck and nipples, and violently sexually assaulted her on the lounge.
The woman said she escaped after Andrews fell asleep and later reported the incident to police.
Court documents said a medical examination found injuries consistent with the woman's claims, including a tear to her genitals.
Andrews was arrested and later denied bail in court on grounds he could reoffend or interfere with witnesses if he was released from custody.
He appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court again on Wednesday when prosecutors said he faced four new charges after police took a statement from a different female complainant concerning a separate alleged incident.
Andrews was formally charged in court with three acts of indecency on another person and one act of indecency committed in front of another person.
Lawyers for the defendant withdrew an application for bail that was set to be considered by Chief Magistrate Lorraine Walker.
Andrews is expected to enter pleas to both sets of charges when he's back in court on January 13.
