The charges come after the footballer's arrest in Alice Springs when three women were allegedly assaulted at a 24-hour store in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Jurrah, 24, and another man were arrested.
Without naming Jurrah, Senior Sergeant Darrell Kerr from Alice Springs confirmed that two men arrested over the incident at the store had been charged on Thursday night.
He said a bail application was heard before a magistrate in an over-the-phone hearing on Friday and was refused.
"Police opposed bail due to the seriousness of the charges," Snr Sgt Kerr.
The news means Jurrah will be locked up over Easter until the court resumes sitting on Tuesday.
Last week he walked free from the Alice Springs Supreme Court after being acquitted of attacking his cousin with a machete.
Twice this week he has failed to appear in court in South Australia, where he faces separate charges of aggravated assault and drink driving.
Jurrah made his AFL debut in 2009 and played 36 games for Melbourne.
The club delisted him at the end of last season but he has since signed on to play for the Alice Springs South Kangaroos Football Club.
