Mr Daly told the Hobart Magistrates Court, by law, Mr Wake could only apply for bail before the Supreme Court.
He remanded the man in custody to appear before him on February 28 by videolink.
Friends of the alleged victim, Rachel Wake, have started a GoFundMe page to support her teenage children Romany and Gabriel.
Almost $60,000 in donations have been received so far.
