Police issue image of man taken by alleged victim, which prompts other women to come forward and make similar allegationsPolice have released an image of a man suspected of a string of sexual assaults on trams in Melbourne since April last year. The alleged victim said she was groped on a packed Melbourne tram, and bumped into the suspect two months later in Coburg and “instantly recognised him”. The alleged victim posted the photo on social media and took it to the police. Police say the alleged sexual assaults occurred between April 2016 and April 2017 on tram routes 1, 96 and 109 in and around the central business district. In each incident, the groper is alleged to have inappropriately touched his victim before leaving.
