Woman held captive for days, assaulted

A woman has been held against her will for three days and repeatedly sexually assaulted at a home in western Sydney, police say.

It is alleged a man detained his 28-year-old partner at a home in St Marys earlier this month.

The woman told police she was sexually assaulted multiple times.

She said that after three days she was allowed to leave and received treatment in hospital.

Last week the 32-year-old man was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, detain advantage and sexual assault.

He has been refused bail to appear in Penrith Local Court in January.
