Police investigating the alleged rape of a young woman last month in Brisbane are appealing for public assistance after concerning video was discovered on a mobile phone depicting other unknown women.
Detectives from Brisbane City Criminal Investigation Branch executed a search warrant at a Mary Street address yesterday (August 4) and arrested a 30-year-old local man.
During a search of the residence police will allege they located mobile telephones, video recording equipment, prescription drugs and illicit drugs.

rape, sexual assault, unlawful stalking, observations or recordings in breach of privacy, supplying dangerous drugs, possession of a restricted drug and two counts of possessing dangerous drugs.
