Questions are being asked after police took almost two years to
lay sexual touching charges over an incident at a popular Sydney
beach.
A 23-year-old woman reported the allegations to police the same
day of the incident in 2020.
However, it took police until February 2022 to charge the
accused. He was bail refused and due to appear at Newtown Local
Court.
Sexual Touching Charges in Sydney
The 46-year-old accused was arrested at his Marrickville home
after a police investigation that took almost 2 years.
The complainant claimed she was climbing rocks at Gordons Bay on
20 March 2020, when she was approached from behind by an unknown
man.
The man allegedly said, "I need to help you" and
"you can't make it up the rocks by yourself" before
touching her waist.
