| (about 3 hours later) | |
| A teenage cadet at the Australian Defence Force Academy (Adfa) has been charged with two counts of sexually assaulting female colleagues. | |
| Harlan Agresti, 19, was arrested on Tuesday and held in custody overnight to appear in the ACT magistrates court on Wednesday. | |
| He has been charged with sexual intercourse with a female cadet without her consent in June 2013 and sexual intercourse with another female cadet without her consent in February this year. | |
| No details of the allegations were given in court, but Agresti’s lawyer, Alyn Doig, said his client would be pleading not guilty. | |
| Magistrate Peter Dingwall remanded Agresti to appear in court on 3 October, granting bail of $10,000 subject to conditions. | |
| Agresti must reside in Adamstown, Newcastle, report to police three times a week, refrain from consuming alcohol and other drugs, and surrender his passport. | |
| He must have no contact with the alleged victims or other cadets and must abide by a curfew from 8pm to 8am. | |
| The defence force said the two female cadets separately reported the allegations to Adfa staff on Monday. | |
| It was referred to the Australian defence force investigative service and then to ACT police. |
