Baril also attended UVA, but withdrew from the school in April after authorities began investigating the allegations against him.
Baril, the grandson of former Virginia Gov. John N. Dalton, appeared at a bond hearing Wednesday via teleconference.
Baril is a member of a prominent Virginia Republican family and was a third generation to attend UVA prior to his withdrawal.
With Baril's accuser watching inside the courtroom, City Prosecutor Areshini Pather argued the former student restrained and sexually assaulted the woman.
The woman allegedly sustained bites and bruises from the incident, as well as vaginal tearing.
Pather said that Baril sent a text message to the woman following the encounter, writing: "I'm sorry if I got overly excited."
Baril did not enter a plea, but his attorney Rhonda Quagliana said in court that Baril plans to vigorously contest the woman's claims, according to reports.
