I can infer from this previous history of offending that the accused may be motivated to approach the victim and attempt to get her to change her story.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937\charrsid7675937 I am able to infer that at least there is a strong risk that he would do so.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937  }{
\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937\charrsid7675937 No amount of strict conditions could ameliorate that risk.

\par I am concerned about his likelihood of surrender to custody and honour of his bail conditions.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937\charrsid7675937 
The circumstances, nature and seriousness of this offence when put into the context of his previous offending leave the Court with no certainty whatsoever that he would answer to bail when called.
\par 
\par At this time the strength of the Prosecution case is significant.}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937  }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7675937\charrsid7675937
