A worker at the Belconnen Markets allegedly attacked a colleague in her own home after becoming infatuated with her.
Dequan Sun, 33, of Holt, appeared before the ACT Magistrates Court yesterday charged with two counts of acts of indecency and two of assault with intent to commit an act of indecency.
Police alleged Sun arrived at the woman's Weetangara home after she earlier declined an invitation to join him at lunch.
The court also heard that Sun's wife was six months' pregnant.
A police statement of facts submitted to the court said Sun allegedly trapped the woman in a bedroom at her house and pushed her on to the bed.
Police claimed he tried to kiss the woman, touched and kissed her breasts and touched her genitals after pinning her arms.
Police alleged that, during the incident, the woman pleaded with Sun to stop, bit his bottom lip and right cheek and scratched both sides of his face.
After the alleged attack, Sun reportedly put an arm around the woman and told her he loved her.
Shortly afterwards the woman called her husband and told him ''something terrible has happened, can you come straight home''.
Magistrate Beth Campbell described the allegations of sexual assault as nasty.
She said the presence of Sun's wife and employer in court and the fact he stayed at the woman's home until her husband arrived gave some comfort in relation to him adhering to bail conditions.
Sun's wife sobbed in court during the description of the alleged incident.
Counsel for the defendant said Sun was not the first married person to seek ''a relationship with another woman''.
The lawyer said her client was extremely upset and had no intention of approaching the woman.
