A man accused of breaking into an Adelaide Hills home and sexually assaulting a person unknown to him has been charged with multiple counts of rape, court documents show.<\/p>\n
Nabeel Qaisir, from Salisbury, appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today with his head wrapped in bloodied bandages, and remained silent during the minute-long hearing.<\/p>\n
Police allege he broke into a property at Mount Pleasant, where they were called just before 3am on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old was arrested in the Adelaide Hills town about 10:30am the same morning, police said.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Mr Qaisir has been charged with five counts of engaging in sexual intercourse with a person without consent, one count of indecent assault and an aggravated count of serial criminal trespass.<\/p>\n
The documents allege the offences occurred “between the 18th day of May 2026 and the 21st day of May 2026 at Mount Pleasant”.<\/p>\n
Police previously said they were searching for a white 2000 Mazda Bravo ute “believed to have been used by the suspect”.<\/p>\n
Today they said the vehicle was “not believed to be connected to the incident”, but it had been found in the north-eastern suburbs and seized for forensic testing.<\/p>\n
“It will be alleged that the arrested man and victim are not known to each other,” police said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Mr Qaisir did not apply for bail and has been remanded in custody before his next court hearing in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man accused of breaking into an Adelaide Hills home and sexually assaulting a person unknown to him…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[154158,78964,182368,1108,330233,43,191,330232,330234,44,13396,242297,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-685192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-adelaide-hills","tag-alleged","tag-break-in","tag-court","tag-first-appearance","tag-headlines","tag-home","tag-mount-pleasant","tag-nabeel-qaisir","tag-news","tag-rape","tag-rapist","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
