He will return to court next month.
Detectives launched an investigation after a man allegedly punched a 19-year-old woman several times in the face before sexually attacking her on April 14.
The woman told police she was walking along Bourke Street in Goulburn when she was approached by a man she did not know about 11pm. He allegedly grabbed her and threw her to the ground.
She was punched several times in the face and lost consciousness before being sexually attacked. The woman flagged a passing car after regaining consciousness and was taken to the police station.
On April 5, an 18-year-old woman was walking along Blackshaw Road when she was approached by a man she did not know about 10.30pm.
Police will allege the man punched her in the face before she fell to the ground.
The woman managed to break free and ran towards Park Road before she was taken to hospital for treatment.
After an investigation into the assaults, Western Australia Police this week arrested a man at a Fremantle hotel. He was taken to the Perth watch house.
NSW Police detectives travelled to WA to apply for the man’s extradition, which was granted. Police escorted him on a flight to Sydney on Wednesday night.
He was taken to Mascot police station and charged with eight offences.
The charges included two counts of aggravated robbery and inflicting actual bodily harm; two counts of inflicting actual bodily harm with the intent of having sexual intercourse with the victim; sexually touching another person without consent; choking a person with the intent to commit an indictable offence; and two counts of stalking or intimidating with the intent of fear physical harm.
