CONTENT WARNING: This article refers to an alleged sexual assault.

The owner of a male stripping business has been accused of committing a sexual assault while on tour with his company in the ACT.

He travelled to Canberra in July 2023 for a show his company was hosting in Canberra City and met a woman at a hotel room in Dickson after the event, an ACT Policing spokesperson alleged.

It is alleged he sexually assaulted the woman at the hotel, then recorded her and another woman without their consent.

Police were told about the allegations in 2024, then on Thursday (13 March), officers raided the man’s home in Camden.

The police spokesperson said he was arrested and faced court in NSW where his extradition to the ACT was granted.

He faced the Magistrates Court on Saturday (15 March), charged with two counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

The man was granted bail. He will face court again at a later date.

“Anyone with any information about this incident or similar incidents is urged to come forward,” the police spokesperson said.
