A BUDGEREE man accused of kidnapping his teenage girlfriend and faking his own abduction so he could have sex with her has been refused bail for a second time.
Julian Buchwald, 22, applied for bail in Latrobe Valley Magistrates Court on Monday but magistrate John Dugdale said he was an ``unacceptable risk'' and ordered that he remain remanded in custody.
The court heard Mr Buchwald's family had contacted the girl's family ``professing his innocence'' several times since his arrest in March.
Mr Buchwald allegedly kidnapped his girlfriend while on a picnic near Boolarra on 4 March, convinced her they had both been abducted and spent six days with her naked in the forest evading their `captors'.
Mr Buchwald was charged with unlawfully carrying away against one's will, abduction with intent to marry, abduction for sexual penetration, and theft.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Marie Fidone told court on Monday that Mr Buchwald's mother, Siglinde Buchwald, had contacted his girlfriend's grandmother five to six times declaring her son's ``innocence'' following his arrest.
Sen Const Fidone said another family member of Mr Buchwald contacted the teenage girl's father in an attempt to find out what evidence there was against Mr Buchwald.
The court heard police seized Mr Buchwald's home computer after his arrest and had found search entries for ``death by rape'' and ``rape by death'' on its hard drive made on 2 February.
Sen Const Fidone told the court these actions had distressed the girl and her family, and that the teen was ``fearful of Mr Buchwald and doesn't want to see or have anything to do with him''.
Sen Const Fidone said if Mr Buchwald was released, the girl's family ``may be in danger''.
She said Mr Buchwald's parents had been ``obstructive'' and ``not cooperative or helpful'' during the course of the police investigation.
Sen Const Fidone said it was believed Mr Buchwald's parents would not contact police if the accused broke bail conditions if released into his parents' care.
Ms Buchwald told the court she would ``offer 24 hour, seven day supervision'' to Mr Buchwald if released into her care.
She said the family lived and worked on a large deer and timber farm.
She told the court Mr Buchwald would work with her and husband Russell Wolfe and ``one of us would be with him at all times''.
Ms Buchwald said if her son was to leave the house at night the ``bleating'' of the 25 sheep on the property would wake them up.
However the prosecution told the court they did not think the parents were capable of providing full-time care.
Sen Const Fidone said according to a psychological assessment of Mr Buchwald prepared for the court by Dr Lester Walton, the accused would most likely contact the girl if released.
But Mr Buchwald's lawyer said the report also stated he was ``not prone to impulsive acts'' and could ``apply to the bail conditions''.
Mr Buchwald will re-appear in court for a committal hearing on 10 June.
