He was taken to the Townsville watchhouse and had his case mentioned in the Townsville Magistrates Court on Friday morning.Solicitor Jamie Scuderi appeared on his behalf, saying Mr Rutherford denied the allegations.
Mr Scuderi said solicitors needed time to speak with investigating officers before requesting a brief of evidence."I am seeking a two-week adjournment, during that time I would like an opportunity to correspond with one of the investigating officers and the prosecution, with respect, with further information that may assist with the investigations in this matter."No application for bail was made, and the man was remanded in custody.
