Man faces court over child sex assault

He is facing three charges, including rape and contravening his bail conditions, court documents revealed. 

Abdullah, who was dressed in a white jumpsuit, remained silent for the brief hearing.

The court heard he had substance abuse issues and was a refugee, which made him vulnerable while in custody.

He was remanded to appear in court on October 20 for a committal mention.

The 11-year-old girl was assaulted at Boundary Road near Racecourse Road just before 2pm on Thursday, police said earlier.

Paramedics were called and she was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
