A man facing 17 family-violence-related charges accused a lawyer of harassing him and trying to make him "breach [an order] on purpose" at the ACT Magistrates Court on Thursday.
The north Canberra student, who Canberra Times has not named to protect the identity of an alleged victim, has been accused of head-butting, choking and performing an act of indecency against a woman.
The man was in court on Thursday to make a second application for bail when he accused prosecutor Sam Bargwanna of "trying to make me breach on purpose" and harassing the alleged victim.
