In April 2014, police also charged Monis with the 2002 sexual assault of a woman at his western Sydney spiritual healing business. In an exclusive interview with news.com.au, Esla has revealed for the first time the sexual assault history at the hands of Man Monis. Eventually, police would charge him with more than 40 sexual assault charges. The first of the sexual assault victims of Monis to speak publicly, Esla told news.com.au that Monis flirted with vulnerable women and used his good looks to get high-paying customers. Detectives interviewed seven women who Monis committed acts of indecency and aggravated sexual assaults against between 2002 and 2009.
