The allegations against a man accused of "luring" a sex worker to sexually assault and rob at knifepoint "speaks to a desire to control and degrade women", a magistrate said as she refused him bail.
Calwell man Craig Emberton, 34, has been charged with aggravated robbery and sexual assault in the third degree to which he has not pleaded.
Mr Emberton appeared via audio-visual link in the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday when a prosecution document tendered states that he booked an appointment with the sex worker at a Canberra unit on March 25.
