Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant is charged with raping his 10-year-old daughter on multiple occasions between May and June 2019. The alleged abuse was discovered after a tip-off to the police, with the applicant's 5-year-old daughter being the only witness. The applicant sought bail pending trial, which the State opposed based on the risk of witness interference and abscondment.
