Accused Sydney rapist extradited from US

A tourist accused of raping a woman in Sydney and fleeing Australia hours later has been extradited from the United States.

Nepalese national Balram Shiv didn't apply for bail when his case was heard in Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday.

He's accused of sexually and indecently assaulting a 21-year-old woman at a Carlton unit in June 2017 and then leaving the country hours later.

Shiv was arrested on a federal warrant in New York in January before being moved to Los Angeles, where he was met by NSW police detectives on Thursday.

He's expected to face Sutherland Local Court on Monday on two counts of sexual intercourse without consent and five counts of indecent assault.
