A man allegedly carved his nickname into a woman's forearm with a knife while keeping her as his sex slave for a month, an ACT court has heard.
The 25-year-old man, who cannot be identified, pleaded not guilty in the ACT Magistrates Court to charges of rape, kidnapping, forcible confinement, assault and sexual servitude.
Police alleged the two people began a relationship last December.
By late January they had moved in together, but then the relationship soured, the court heard.
The man allegedly confiscated the woman's mobile phone, demanded she give him all her wages, and cook and clean for him.
Police said he also controlled all of the woman's contact with friends and family.
Court documents showed that at one stage, the pair went to a Canberra police station, where the woman was told to "show them a happy face" in an attempt to call off concerned friends.
Police said the relationship became physically and sexually violent, and that the woman was raped multiple times over a month-long period after threats to harm and kill her were made.
The documents allege the man threatened to cut her legs off and take them to Darwin, before he fled to Melbourne.
The documents also allege the man said words to the effect of "if I'm going to kill you, I will tell you first".
Police said the woman took advantage of a brief opportunity to escape while she was made to wait outside the man's workplace.
The man is due to return to court next month for a decision on whether he will be committed to stand trial.
