The South Australian District Court is preparing to sentence Bristow, 54, who was found guilty at trial of six offences including aggravated kidnapping, rape and indecent assault.

During his trial the court heard he lured a 24-year-old European woman to his Meningie property in 2017 after responding to an ad she posted on the website Gumtree looking for farm work.

Once on the 40-hectare hobby farm, he threatened to shoot the woman before shackling her with chains in an old pig shed and subjecting her to repeated sexual abuse.

During a pre-sentencing hearing on Thursday, defence lawyer Chris Weir said his client was born in the UK and while he had permanent residency, he was not an Australian citizen.

"What is likely to happen at the end of this man's non-parole period is that he will be taken into the custody of immigration and then likely to be ultimately deported back to the United Kingdom," Mr Weir said.

The court heard Bristow rejected the jury's verdicts and still maintained his innocence.

Mr Weir told the court Bristow would likely lose his hobby farm as a result of his convictions.

"He is likely to have lost his marriage, he's estranged from all of his children, and unless his wife is able to manage the mortgage, it's very likely the defendant will lose the property," he said.

Bristow not remorseful for his actions

Prosecutor Michael Foundas called for the court to impose a "severe head sentence with a significant non-parole period" for Bristow's crimes.

"The accused denies the offending and demonstrated no contrition or remorse," he said.

"The accused's offending is extremely serious, such that there's a very real need to protect the community, coupled with the need to punish the accused."

The court previously heard that during the night the backpacker managed to break free from her shackles and use her laptop to send distress messages to her family, friends and South Australian police.

When police started searching the area, the court heard Bristow panicked and drove the woman back to Murray Bridge where he helped her check into a motel and left.

Mr Foundas said Bristow's release of the backpacker on the second day should not in any way lessen the seriousness of his offending because there was some evidence he intended to hold her captive for another week.

"The fact that the complainant was released on day two in no way mitigates the accused's offending," he said.

"It's plain … that the only reason the complainant was released was due to her actions and due to the realisation on the part of the accused that it was only a matter of time before the police's arrival."

Victim described her terror

In a victim impact statement that was read to the court during a previous hearing, the backpacker said she felt powerless during the terrifying ordeal.

"While I was in that shed, I felt like an animal or a slave," she said.

"I was locked in chains, held against my will and had to endure things that nobody should have to endure."

Judge Geraldine Davison will sentence Bristow, who faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, on May 3.
