A Sydney tradie accused of sexually assaulting two women he met on a dating app has been arrested again, after an alleged third victim came forward.

Joshua Rini was denied bail today, the magistrate deeming him a flight risk.

Police allege the third offence took place in a house in Woollahra in 2017.

Mr Rini's latest accuser came forward earlier this year after claiming to recognise her alleged attacker in media reports.

Mr Rini is already charged with sexually assaulting two women in 2019.

The 29-year-old tradie initially handed himself in to police in July this year after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

He was freed on strict conditional bail, ordered to report to police three times a week while living with his cousin in Bondi Junction.
