Mitchell James Efeimoff, 34, was charged last month with 18 counts of sexual assault and four counts of unlawful stalking, intimidation or harassment.
A former Brisbane chef accused of more than 20 offences including the sexual assault and stalking of young women told another employee who allegedly witnessed the behaviour “it was all just a joke”.
But Crown prosecutor Stephanie Gallagher told the court Efeimoff had dismissed his alleged behaviour as a joke.“He’s actually seen some messages including one from saying ‘I can’t stop looking at your boobs’ sent to one of the complainants,” Gallagher told the hearing. Efeimoff’s barrister, Daniel Caruana, argued Efeimoff could be released from custody under a range of conditions, including that he live in Dalby, west of Brisbane, and complete a sexual offending program.
Gallagher said she was concerned Efeimoff would not immediately go into a sexual offending program if released, and that he would instead be placed on a wait list.
