Huy Quach, 33, a leading senior constable at a police station in Melbourne's east, is accused of four counts of rape, 11 drug offences and a charge of perverting the course of justice.
Quach also faces two counts each of misconduct and offering bribes or commissions.
The four counts of rape are against three alleged victims, one a woman police say was bipolar and at risk of suicide.
Documents before the court also outline 10 drugs charges involving ecstasy, methamphetamine and cocaine.
Sen-Constable Quach, who was stationed at Box Hill, is accused of trying to supply cocaine to a minor in Hawthorn last April.
Two charges allege he corruptly offered a bribe of beer to a senior constable to show favour to or withdraw a penalty notice against someone.
The court heard yesterday police needed extra time to prepare a brief of evidence because telephone intercepts have yet to be transcribed.
The charges are the result of a six-month investigation by Victoria Police Ethical Standards Department.
Yesterday, Magistrate Greg Connellan remanded Quach, who has been suspended from duty, in custody to appear in the same court today for a bail application.
A committal mention is scheduled for May 2.
