A trial date has been set for a man accused of holding a teenager captive and torturing him for days, tying him to a bed and beating him with a shovel.
Police allege Michael James Sculac, then 48, brutally assaulted and held the 19-year-old against his will at an illegal bush camp in Eenie Creek in March 2019.
The alleged victim had injuries including scratches, bruising, black eyes and bruises to his thighs consistent with shoe-sole impressions, a court previously heard. The teenager was allegedly held captive in Eenie Creek bushland, about 1km from the Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. Picture: Nine News Sunshine Coast
