Accused rapist kept in custody after allegedly saying he cannot control his urges The CCTV still which led to the arrest of a man on charges of sexual assault. A MAGISTRATE has denied an alleged rapist bail to ``protect the women of Brisbane" after he allegedly told police he could not control his urges to touch women against their will. The 23-year-old music student from Gordon Park - who cannot be identified under Queensland law until he is committed to a higher jurisdiction - was charged with two counts of sexual assault and one of rape after allegedly lifting the skirts of two young women at a Lutwyche bus station in broad daylight on Wednesday. Police alleged the man assaulted a 21-year-old woman about 3.10pm at the bus interchange before then assaulting a 19-year-old woman on nearby Florri St about 4.15pm. It was alleged the man followed the two women, touched them and then fled. Defence lawyer Kate McArthur, for the alleged rapist, applied for bail on her client's behalf but it was strongly opposed by police prosecutor Constable Jay Jesswein-Herman. Constable Jesswein-Herman said there was an unacceptable risk the man would reoffend if granted release on bail, especially as he admitted to police in an interview he could not control his urges to touch women. She said the alleged attacks were random and aggravated by the fact they took place in a busy place and in broad daylight. She said one of the women alleged she was digitally raped by the man when he inappropriately touched her underneath her skirt. The man was only able to be identified after CCTV images of him at the bus station were circulated by police. He was arrested by detectives from the North Brisbane CIB yesterday afternoon. Ms McArthur said her client had never had any previous involvement with police. She said the university student lived with his girlfriend of 18 months and had spoken with her and close friends about his problem. Ms McArthur said the man's friends had encouraged him to seek counselling. She said the rape charge levelled at her client was strongly disputed but he admitted to sexually assaulting the two women. Ms McArthur said comments made by the man to police about his inability to control himself were made in the context of trying to be co-operative and candid during the interview process. She said any risk of reoffending could be addressed with counselling. Magistrate Deb Vasta refused bail to the man, adding she was concerned about his ability to ``resist temptation. ``Committing those offences in broad daylight while under the glare of CCTV cameras does show a strong urge and one that you told police you were unable to resist," she said. ``I'm not prepared to put the women of Brisbane at risk of you committing further offences because of your uncontrollable urges. Ms Vasta remanded the man in custody ahead of his next appearance in September.
