A 34 year old Logan man has been charged with 34 offences by the Crime and Intelligence Command Sexual Crime Unit.
It is alleged that the individual utilised various dating applications and social media platforms to contact women in the Brisbane and Gold Coast areas between 2019 and 2023, reportedly committing offenses against at least nine women.
Operation Whiskey Midfields: Origin and Progress
Launched in December 2023, Operation Whiskey Midfields originated from a police report. After preliminary investigations, a search warrant was executed at a Logan residence in March 2024, resulting in the seizure of several devices for forensic analysis.
The charges include:
- counts of distributing intimate images;
- three counts of rape;
- one of attempted rape;
- domestic choking;
- privacy breach recordings;
- unlawful stalking; and
- contravention of a domestic violence order.
The male is to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court on 27 May 2024. Such charges will ordinarily proceed through the higher courts such as in the District or Supreme Courts of Brisbane, as proposed by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
“We have uncovered multiple intimate images and videos where the identity of the person depicted is unknown and we are urging anyone who had contact with this man to come forward to police,” Detective Senior Constable McDonald said. Members from the Sexual Crime Unit have urged potential additional victims in the community to come forward to assist with the investigation.
