Two years after allegedly raping an 11-year-old boy lured from the city skate park and photographing the crime , the accused has been remanded in custody.

The former South Australian man , 30 , who cannot be identified , appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today.

Police have alleged he was living in Queensland when guilt moved him to confess to the alleged incident , which occurred at the North Tce skate ramp on June 25 , 2006.

He gave himself up at Maroochydore police station on the Sunshine Coast on November 15 , and also told police the identity of his alleged accomplice.

That man , from Tranmere , was arrested disembarking an international flight last Sunday.

He appeared in Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday , where he was granted bail on strict conditions.

Both men have been charged with two counts of rape and one of producing child pornography.

Prosecutor Lucy Boord told the court today that police files were not yet ready.

Magistrate Bill Ackland remanded the man in custody to reappear in court in mid-December.
