Update: Deprivation of liberty, Mitchell

Detectives are continuing an investigation in relation to a 22-year-old woman allegedly held against her will and assaulted in Queensland over several weeks.

A 22-year-old man faced Roma Magistrates Court on Monday after being charged with various offences. He has been remanded in custody and is due to reappear in court on May 23.

Police will allege the Manunda man met the woman on January 27 near Cairns and the offences occurred between February 3 and March 5 at various Queensland locations. An earlier statement indicated a different timeframe, however, this was incorrect information and has since been clarified.

The woman has since been released from hospital and is now recovering in the care of friends and family.

The QPS has been advised that the woman and her family do not intend to conduct any interviews at this time and request that media respect their privacy.

As the matter is before the court the QPS will not be providing further comment at this time.
