Vic gang rape accused granted bail

The accused ringleader in the alleged gang rape of a 14-year-old schoolgirl by three brothers in Victoria has been granted bail.

Kevin Andrew Wild, 29, and two of his brothers face multiple charges over the alleged incident in Geelong.

Police say they were at a family reunion and then went out drinking before they encountered the teenage girl and her male friend in a park.

The girl was taken away and sexually assaulted several times before being dropped back at the park, police say.

Four brothers were initially charged, but police have since dropped all charges against Rowan Gavin Wild, 27.

Brodie Mark Wild, 20, and Allan Mark Wild, 30, each face nine charges, while Kevin has been handed 14, including rape, abduction and assault.

His application for bail was granted on Tuesday in the Melbourne Magistrates Court, after the hearing was told a trial could be delayed for many months.

Deputy Chief Magistrate Jelena Popovic said there were some risks, including Kevin's attitude to alcohol, but they could be reduced with bail conditions.

She also questioned the strength of the prosecution's case.

"The evidence with respect to the most serious offending is equivocal, to say the least," Ms Popovic said.

Police had objected to Kevin's bail, with prosecutor Cecily Hollingworth saying the teenage girl was fearful.

She also alleged Kevin knew how old the girl was, an issue the court heard would be part of the case.

Kevin is accused of joking: "The next time I see her I should buy her Dora the Explorer underwear" at a social gathering the next day.

He must engage in drug and alcohol counselling, cannot drink alcohol and must not enter the greater Geelong area while on bail.

He cannot leave Victoria, can't contact witnesses or his co-accused brothers and has to report to police.

Brodie is also on bail, but Allan remains in custody.

The men are due to front a committal hearing in June.

The court also heard there were two separate police investigations involving Kevin.
