East Melbourne Assault Probe Ongoing

Detectives from the Sexual Crimes Squad are continuing to investigate reports of sexual assault at a hotel in East Melbourne earlier this month.

The matter occurred at the Wellington Parade premises in the early hours of 17 August.

Three women subsequently made a report to police.

Detectives travelled to NSW this week to speak to four people as part of their investigation into the sexual assault allegations, including:

  • A 26-year-old Randwick man;
  • A 30-year-old Maroubra man;
  • A 25-year-old Randwick man; and
  • A 25-year-old Paddington man.

That process has now concluded.

Investigators also spoke to or will speak to three men believed to be in the hotel room at the time of the incident, who are being treated solely as witnesses at this time.

Police now believe they have now identified all parties who were in the room at the time of the alleged incident and are not looking for anyone further.

The investigation into the circumstances remains active and ongoing.

Anyone with information that could assist police urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
