A teen has been accused of abducting a 17-year-old girl from near a school intending to marry her without her consent and detaining her against her will.
The details were revealed in court documents released after Ayom Deng, 18, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court.
He was arrested in Melbourne's west, about 10am on Wednesday, over an alleged abduction near Keysborough Secondary College in Springvale South.
Police said a 17-year-old girl was entering the school when she was approached by a male about 8.30am on Friday. He then allegedly forced her into a vehicle and fled.
Deng, who was on bail at the time, is alleged to have been driving the vehicle.
He faced court on late on Wednesday after being charged with abduction, kidnapping, false imprisonment and committing an indictable offence whilst on bail.
His defence lawyer said Deng had diagnosed PTSD, it was not his first time in custody and he was vulnerable due to his age and appearance.
He did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody to reappear for a committal mention on September 23.
Charge sheets released on Thursday reveal Deng was accused of five offences including abducting the girl "with intent on marrying ... without her consent".
He was also charged with unlawfully imprisoning her and detaining her "against her will" in the court documents.
Deng was further accused of driving on a highway without a driver's licence or permit allowing him to drive.
His co-accused, a 15-year-old boy, was charged with abduction and will appear in a children's court at a later date.
