“Having reviewed the investigation thus far, I am satisfied that police had taken the appropriate actions, and that support had been offered to this woman as well, and that other support services had been engaged,” he said.
Cora, who also goes by the stage name MC Triks, has been involved in Brisbane’s hip hop scene for a number of years and has thousands of followers on social media.
He has been refused police bail and is due to appear at Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday.
