The doctor, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is accused of raping his estranged wife as well as two other women he met via a Christian dating website.
He is also charged with her torture, as well as choking and assaulting her on several occasions.
The hearing was told that shortly after his marriage ended in early 2021, he met two women on the website Christian Connection, who both expressed that they wished to remain virgins until marriage. Before meeting with the first woman, he allegedly called her about 40 times, questioning why she was not responding to his "requests and needs" and then went on to rape her repeatedly the next day, the court heard.
It is alleged he raped her again on two more occasions and at one stage told her he would "teach her" how to have sex because he was a doctor.Opposing the man's bail, prosecutor Courtney Brown told the court he was a "danger to the community" and particularly to his estranged wife, whom he had previously told "I will kill you" if she ever came forward.
"There was particularly a specific threat made … that if she reported his behaviour to the police causing him to lose his doctor's licence and GP registration," Ms Brown said.The court heard the man, who had moved to Australia 10 years ago, had been suspended from practising medicine since being charged.
