A large group of family and supporters also cried after Trent Daniel Remington was led in to Albury Local Court.

Despite strong police opposition, the 22-year-old Glenroy carpenter was granted strict bail early on Monday afternoon after a lengthy application by his lawyer, Camille McKay.

Magistrate Richard Funston told Remington that he was effectively under house arrest, such was the list of conditions.

These include an 8pm curfew, drug and alcohol testing despite having no history of substance abuse and a ban on associating with anyone else who was at the party.

An exception was granted for his partner, who attended the party and was also in court on Monday - seated next to Remington's parents.

After bail was granted Remington's father spoke to Ms McKay, who then asked Mr Funston that the accused's place of residence be changed to his father's home.

"I think it's a change that's possibly a good idea," Mr Funston said.

Remington's father offered to lodge $50,000 as surety to ensure his son re-appeared in court for the next mention date of March 31.

Mr Funston set a surety of $20,000, but he also emphasised that offers of large sums of money - where others didn't have the means to do likewise - had no bearing whatsoever on whether he looked favourably upon a bail application.

Rather, he said the amount set was hefty because the allegations were "very serious".

Remington is charged with aggravated sexual assault inflicting actual bodily harm on the victim, sexual intercourse without consent and take or detain a person with the intention of obtaining a sexual advantage.

No pleas were entered, though Ms McKay indicated through her submission that the charges would be strenuously denied.

She said there was no evidence in the lengthy police outline of the allegations against Remington of anyone at the party having seen anything resembling either the alleged assault - between the hours of 6pm and 11.30pm - or the aftermath of such an assault.

Just one person, she said, had seen the accused and the complainant together, but there was nothing else untoward about that sighting.

Also, she said the complainant had taken part in drinking games after the alleged incident.

But Mr Funston said it was often the case that victims of sexual assault later gave no indication through their behaviour of what they had suffered.

He said he simply could not draw any conclusions from what had been put before the court in the police facts, other than the seriousness of the allegations.
