Suzi Taylor, whose real name is Suellen Jan Taylor, has been in custody since her arrest in October on extortion, deprivation of liberty and assault charges
The Block 2015 contestant, whose real name is Suellen Jan Taylor, allegedly attacked a 33-year-old man before forcing him to hand over money at a New Farm home in Brisbane after meeting him online.
Ms Taylor, a real estate agent, claims she wasn’t even using the dating app Tinder at the time of the alleged assault, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.
Taylor and her co-accused Ali Ebrahimi, 22, are accused of attacking the 33-year-old man before forcing him to make a bank transfer and taking his card to withdraw money.
The 1990s Penthouse cover girl and Ebrahimi have been charged with deprivation of liberty, assault occasioning bodily harm and extortion.
Taylor is accused of ‘honey potting’, where someone uses a false relationship to lure someone in and take advantage of them.
Prosecutor Rebecca Guppy-Coles told Brisbane’s Magistrate’s Court that Taylor had committed the alleged crimes two days after being granted watch-house bail on other charges.
She is due back in court on February 5.
