The 31-year-old appeared in the Bendigo Magistrates' Court this week where he pleaded guilty to persistently breaching a family violence intervention order.

The order was issued on April 13 this year after the man allegedly assaulted his former partner on April 10.

Police alleged the man attempted to lock the woman in a shed before pulling her clothing down so he could slap and grope her.

The man is contesting the charges stemming from that alleged incident.

The court heard under the intervention order, the man was not allowed to contact his former partner or go within 200 metres of her house.

On April 20, the man sent the woman four texts, including one that said, "if you never wanted to talk to me, you should have told me".

A week later, the man sent a message about child arrangements before sending an abusive text, telling the woman he "doesn't give a f*** about (her)".

The man continued to send messages throughout that evening, making references to the alleged April 10 assault and telling the woman to "get over (her) s***".

He sent more texts to the woman on April 29 so she made a statement to the police the next day.

On May 1, the man sent the woman a text, saying "I will always love you, no matter what happens".

He tried to call her before coming to her property at 7pm.

The court heard he waited outside the neighbour's house and tried to call the woman six times but she did not answer.

He sent another 11 texts, telling the woman, "I hope you're happy" and "how could you do that to your kids?"

The man went to her house again an hour later and stood outside their children's bedroom window. The court heard the man appeared intoxicated.

The man sent more texts to the woman that night and tried to call her.

The court heard the messages were abusive, with man calling the woman a "f****** dog" and telling her, "sorry I tried to rape you and duct tape you in my shed".

The man sent more messages to the woman on May 6 so the woman contacted police again the next day.

The man was arrested and remanded in custody on May 7. The court heard he was on bail at the time of the offending.

Magistrate Patrick Southey said the "tirade of abuse" was "really troubling" and the texts appeared to contain admissions to other allegations.

Defence lawyer Gregory Johnston told the court the man was being "sarcastic" in the texts.

Mr Johnston said his client's emotional regulation was "all over the place" after he was prevented from seeing his children.

The lawyer said the man had a limited prior criminal history and the breaches would not warrant a term of imprisonment.

Mr Southey said he was concerned what would happen if the man was released from custody.

"How do I know you won't get drunk, go around, and shoot her?" the magistrate said. "I am more than satisfied there is a risk of you reoffending."

Mr Southey granted the prosecution's application to revoke the man's bail.

The man was instead remanded in custody and is due to return to court next month. He will be assessed for a community corrections order before his next court date.
