She is charged with five offences, including two counts of rape, sexual assault, deprivation of liberty and causing bodily harm.

The offences allegedly occurred at the accused’s house in the north of Brisbane at the weekend, after the pair matched on Tinder.

The prosecutor said there was “strong evidence” in the case and that the victim had suffered serious injuries.

The defence said consent would be a key issue in the case.

reported the accused wore a beard in her profile picture.

A message on her profile also reportedly included the words: “If you notice something about the thickness of my neck or the broadness of my shoulders that makes you feel I’d be an agile hunter and provide well for our children, you are correct.”

A disease test was ordered on the accused, before the case was adjourned until November 21.

She has been released on bail.
