Adelaide massage therapist Kosta Gourdeas faces court over alleged rape of client

·

Adelaide massage therapist Kosta James Gourdeas, 26, has appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court charged with allegedly raping a female client.

He is accused of engaging in sexual intercourse without consent on June 4 this year while working as a massage therapist in the city’s inner southern suburbs.

Police granted Gourdeas bail following his arrest earlier this year.

During Wednesday’s brief court hearing, prosecutors requested 14 weeks before the case returns to court for a charge determination hearing.

Gourdeas, described in a healthcare profile as an “Australian-based health professional” trained in massage therapy, remained silent during the hearing, with family members present in the gallery.

He is due back in court in November, when a date will be set for him to answer the charge.
