Melbourne Magistrates Court heard there was no evidence Ryan sexually interacted with the girl – who has the intellectual functioning of an 11-year-old – but under a court order he is banned from having any contact with girls under the age of 18.

He is alleged to have breached his responsibilities under the sex offender registry by failing to report his contact with the girl.

Ryan and the girl later told authorities they were in a relationship from December 14, the court heard.

Police opposed Ryan's bid for bail over concerns for the girl's wellbeing, fears Ryan would continue seeing her, that he lied to Department of Health and Human Services workers and there was
inadequate supervision in place for him.

When Judge Taft made non-custodial orders in Ryan's case in June, there was an understanding the young man would stay at a Brunswick West centre for former prisoners with intellectual disabilities, where he would get treatment and support.

However, on Monday the court heard Ryan was by December living in a house in central Victoria and had only four hours a day of supervision from a support worker, between 10am and 2pm.

Police believe the limited supervision meant Ryan would again contact the girl and fail to abide by the sex offender registry orders if he was released.

Magistrate Andrew Capell acknowledged jail was not the appropriate place for Ryan, and said the state government "don't provide facilities that are cost effective for someone like" him.

But in refusing bail, Mr Capell was concerned Ryan had previously labelled the girl's support worker "a dog" who would "dob me in", remarks which suggested Ryan knew that having contact with the girl was wrong.

"I just don't think there is anything that is able to stop him," the magistrate said.

In September 2016, Ryan was in the back seat of a car driven by a DHHS worker when he touched another girl, then aged 14, over her clothing and put her hand on his crotch.

Three months later he told police he "shouldn't have done that" and was charged with two counts of committing an indecent act with a child under 16.

He went into custody because of the lack of suitable accommodation and support, combined with concerns over his anti-social behaviour and past allegations over his sexual conduct.

But despite being found unfit to stand trial he ended up serving more time in jail than would have probably been the case had he pleaded guilty.

In the latest allegations he refused to be interviewed by police, the court heard, as he was "sick of this shit".

Ryan is due to return to court in January.

In October, Victorian Ombudsman Deborah Glass urged the state government to invest more in accommodation and support for vulnerable people, including secure treatment facilities other than prison for people found unfit to stand trial or not guilty by way of mental impairment.
