Much more information is needed to answer this question. I assume he is charged with a 1st dgree offense. I believe the minimum bail on this is 200,000. Of course it can be lowered in certtain cases. You need to make a bail motion. In Essex they are heard in about 2-3 business days. There is a wait after a prior review but it sounds like a motion would not be too early. You need an experienced criminal defense attorney. Flight risk is just one of the factors. Call with more information.

What do you mean by "denied the bail"? Did he deny the defendant's method of payment? Did he increase or deny bail altogether after a motion from the prosecutor? It is strange that a judge would set bail then deny bail. In any case it seems that he needs an attorney to file a bail motion on his behalf.
In addition to the obvious benefits of being out of prison prior to trial, defendants that are out on bail have a significantly lower conviction rate. It is important that an attorney protect his rights.
Much more information about the charges, the person, his history, his connection to the community, etc. is needed to answer this question. The best thing you can do is hire a lawyer for him. Other than that, there's really not much you can do to reduce his bail or defend him.
I agree that more information is needed. Nevertheless you must hire an attorney and he needs to file a bail motion. You can call my office at 908-787-2638
Like everyone else, I agree - your question cannot be properly or accurately answered without much more information. In my view, your focus should be on defending the charges as opposed to bail. A bail reduction application can always be made - but I would be far more concerned with what appears to be a first degree sexual assault charge which carrier Megan's Law consequences inaddition to state prison. In my view, you and your family should consult with a lawyer.
