Vanessa was in a relationship with Rhyce for several months at the start of the year.
Vanessa alleged following her break-up with Rhyce that he assaulted her during a fitness holiday in Thailand in March. She later filed an intervention order in Australia.
Under the Victorian intervention order, which is similar to an apprehended violence order (AVO), the heavily-tattooed tradesman is banned from contacting Vanessa.
