Alexander Maconochie Centre inmate Benjamin Quirk-Buckley denied bail by ACT Magistrates Court after allegedly dominating woman

Richardson teen Benjamin Quirk-Buckley, 18, has been accused of controlling and dominating his alleged victim from inside the walls of the Alexander Maconochie Centre.

He has pleaded not guilty to charges including unlawfully confining a person, intentionally wounding a person, using a carriage service to threaten to cause serious harm, burglary and minor theft.

Alleged facts previously tendered to the court state that Mr Quirk-Buckley threatened to kill the woman, before dragging her into a stolen car and stabbing another person.

Prosecutor Emma Bacchetto called Mr Quirk-Buckley "incredibly violent", and tendered phone transcripts of calls made between him in jail and the woman.

After reading the transcripts, magistrate Glenn Theakston said it appeared Mr Quirk-Buckley was "dominating" the woman from behind bars.

He said while Mr Quirk-Buckley had a presumption of innocence, there was a risk he would offend if let out on bail.

Court documents said that in December last year, Mr Quirk-Buckley came "screeching down" a Latham street, before stopping by the alleged victim and five others.

A day before the alleged kidnapping and stabbing, police said Mr Quirk-Buckley told the woman "you're a dog" and "I'll kill you".

He also allegedly called her a "slut" and a "selfish c---".
