Documents tendered to the Melbourne Magistrates'' Court, before which Doo briefly appeared through videolink on Friday, allege that he raped three of the girls, and installed an optical surveillance device in his toilet and the toilet of another person.
The court documents also allege that Doo administered drugs to one girl, paid another girl for sex, and placed the legs of a girl on a padded chain and suspended it from the ceiling.
Doo is also accused of stalking one girl by hiring a private investigator, of being the holder of a prohibited weapon, and of possessing ammunition whilst not holding a firearms licence.
