The 28-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, first raped the woman the day after being released from a 14-month jail term, according to police.
The woman had picked him up from prison, despite a family violence order in place to protect her from what police described as a "propensity for violence".
He was arrested later that day on sexual assault charges but secured bail on the condition that he not go near the woman or her home, the*Herald Sun*reports.
But police said as soon as the man was granted bail, he walked straight from the police station to her home, tricked his way inside and then violently assaulted her, including biting off part of her ear.
In a police interview later, the man allegedly said that he planned to "finish her off" and asked to see photos of the woman's injuries to "cheer himself up", the Melbourne Magistrates Court heard.He faces assault charges.
Police are still investigating the rape claims, which the man denies, claiming the *** was consensual.
"After 14 months in prison, I'm not going to lie: I was very interested in making love," he was quoted as saying.
"I'm not a *** offender. That's not my field."
