Two Indian nationals have been refused bail in the ACT Magistrates Court over allegations of abduction and sexual assault.
The two men, aged 31 and 20, appeared in court this morning charged with sexual assault, abduction, forcible confinement and acts of indecency.
Yesterday, police searched a property and seized several items.
The court was told the men lured the female victim into meeting them by using a social media phone app.
It is alleged one man made threats to the woman's son and said he would show the woman's husband their conversation on the app.
The court heard the woman was then taken to a Belconnen apartment, where she was repeatedly assaulted.
The men were refused bail on the basis that they could contact the victim and her family or interfere with the investigation.
They have been remanded in custody until October 22.
