At around 3am the 18-year-old woman was walking towards the intersection of Patrick Street and Edward Street when she was approached by a man riding a scooter.
The man allegedly made inappropriate comments towards the woman, leading her to seek refuge in the backyard of a nearby property.
When she returned to the street a short time later it is alleged the man has approached her again before physically assaulting her.
The woman was treated for injuries.
A 33-year-old Gatton man has been charged with 2 counts of rape.
He is due to appear in the Ipswich Magistrates Court today after his matter was adjourned in the Toowoomba Magistrates court on Monday.
