Australian television star Martin Lynes charged with sexual and indecent assault

A former star of All Saints and Home and Away has been charged with the rape and assault of a woman in his NSW Central Coast home last month.

Father-of-two Martin Lynes, 48, faces a host of charges stemming from an incident at a home in Bateau Bay on February 29. 

He has been charged with sexual intercourse without consent, assault with act of indecency, three counts of common assault and four counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The unidentified alleged victim was treated for concussion bruising and bite marks after the alleged attack.

Lynes was granted conditional bail but banned from being within 100m of his alleged victim's house. 

Since retiring from acting in recent years, Lynes has been working as a real estate agent on the Central Coast.

Lynes played the character Luke Forlano in All Saints for the first seven seasons of the show, and villain Adam Sharpe on Home and Away in between 2012 and 2014.

He has also appeared on Blue Water High, Packed to the Rafters and Police Rescue.
