The Block's Suzi Taylor accused of luring Tinder date into home before assault
Former The Block contestant Suzi Taylor is accused of luring a man she met on Tinder to a Brisbane home where she and another man allegedly robbed and assaulted the 33-year-old.
The 49-year-old reality TV star and former topless model, who appeared on the 2015 series of the Channel Nine show, allegedly met her victim in inner Brisbane before they made their way to a home in New Farm on Wednesday.
Queensland Police allege Taylor demanded money from the man, and when he refused, another man, 22, came into the room, assaulted him and held him against his will.
Taylor is then also alleged to have assaulted her date before the duo forced the man to make an online transaction, stole his bank card and withdrew money.
Taylor and a 22-year-old man were charged with extortion, deprivation of liberty and assault and appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday.
Taylor was refused bail due to her risk of reoffending.
The former Penthouse model spoke exclusively to Yahoo Lifestyle earlier this year after she spent a weekend with retired NRL star Greg Inglis.
