The 29-year-old, whose real name is Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, was freed on bail when he appeared on Thursday on several charges in a court in Perth, the west coast city where police allege his crimes were allegedly committed on September 28.
His bail conditions include that he remain in Western Australia state, does not contact his alleged victim and does not post about the case on social media.
He was ordered to surrender his passport and to report to police daily. His surety was set at A$100,000 (US$67,400).
Prosecutors had opposed bail because of a risk that he would flee the state.
