A 27-year-old Gozitan was charged with violently raping a minor in July and August.
He was also charged with corrupting the minor, holding her against her will and forcing her to take part in sexual acts. He was also charged with being a relapser.
In another hearing, a 30-year-old man from Ħamrun was charged with corrupting a minor, using her for the production of pornographic material, and forcing her to take part in sexual acts.
The men, who cannot be named for legal reasons, deny the charges.
