A 31-year-old man has been extradited to New South Wales after he was arrested west of Brisbane in relation to an alleged sexual assault on Anzac Day.

Joe Noamua Tauiliili, from Salisbury North in South Australia, did not appear at Brisbane Arrest Court on Thursday when magistrate Robbie Davies granted the extradition order.

Mr Tauiliili will be taken to Sydney Central Local Court on Friday to face six charges of aggravated sexual assault in company.

He did not apply for bail.

New South Wales police on Thursday morning said Mr Tauiliili was arrested at Amberley near Ipswich on Wednesday afternoon.

Police will allege Mr Tauiliili and two other men repeatedly sexually assaulted a 37-year-old woman who they met at a pub in Sydney’s north west.

During a bail application on Wednesday for co-accused Glenn Robinson, 35, Penrith Local Court heard the woman had been drinking heavily at The Fiddler in Rouse Hill when she met two of the men.

The Daily Telegraph reported magistrate James Gibson told the court they travelled to a Riverstone address where a third man was present.

Police allege the next thing the woman remembered was waking up on a couch in the lounge room with a belt tied around her neck.

The woman allegedly told police she was “passed around the three men who had sex with her in multiple ways, either at the same time or individually while the others were watching, at one pointing dressing her up like an Anzac in a navy blue army jacket”, Magistrate Gibson read.

The woman left the home and sought treatment at Blacktown Hospital before contacting police.

Brisbane Arrest Court on Thursday heard Mr Tauiliili did not wish to be brought into the courtroom.

“The defendant admits that he is the person in the warrant and does not detest the validity of the warrant at this stage,” magistrate Davies said.

Mr Robinson and a 26-year-old man were arrested in New South Wales and each charged with six counts of aggravated sexual assault in company.

Mr Robinson was refused bail and will return to court in July.

Investigations are continuing.
