After receiving information about the alleged assault detectives arrested a 23-year-old man at the Oatlands home yesterday morning.

He was taken to Castle Hill Police Station and charged with two counts of sexual intercourse without consent, and four counts of sexually touching another person without consent.

Magistrate Andrew Miller granted De Luis bail with strict conditions today including to report to police once daily, not to be absent from his residence between 7pm and 7am daily, not to consume alcohol or drugs, to surrender his passport, and not to contact or go near the victim.

Mr Miller warned De Luis if he were to breach his bail conditions he would likely remain in custody until his case had been dealt with in court.

“This matter will not go to trial probably until late next year,” he warned De Luis.

The matter has been adjourned until September 19.

While De Luis is yet to debut in the NRL, he featured in a pre-season match for the Manly Sea Eagles playing at prop earlier this year.

His current side, Blacktown Workers, are the feeder team for the Manly Sea Eagles.
