The man accused of holding a woman hostage and repeatedly raping, beating and threatening to kill her over a four-day period has been identified as Robert Wilson.
The 32-year-old father-of-two is accused of assaulting a 39-year-old Vietnamese woman he met on the dating app 'Badoo' in his home in Darley, Victoria, on March 25.
Court documents obtained by 7News allege the avid car lover 'stomped on the woman's stomach, punched her in the head and slammed her into the floor'.
He is also accused of holding a crossbow to her head and shouting 'do you want to die?' while allegedly demanding large sums of cash be transferred into his bank account.

Police allege the woman was beaten with a metal pole while handcuffed.
Reports also claim he threatened to turn her into a 'money making machine' by pimping her out.
The 32-year-old has argued that $3,000 allegedly transferred from the woman's bank account into his was a loan.
He also claimed the pair - who had been on a number of dates in the past - had engaged in consensual sex.
Police allege the woman was only released from Wilson's home after her friend Thein Truong, contacted the father-of-two on Facebook asking for information on her whereabouts.
'The only thing I was thinking about at the time was to rescue her. She told me she was in a very bad situation, she'd been punched, raped by him, (and given) no food' Mr Truong told 7News.
She was later taken to a hospital and treated for significant head and body injuries.

Neighbours have claimed Wilson continued about his daily activities while allegedly keeping the woman captive.
'He... continued doing what he normally does, say hello, shake our hands,' his next door neighbour told The Age.
'We heard absolutely nothing. He had mates coming around, working on the trucks. Just day to day things. There was nothing strange about it ... I just can't believe it,' he said.
