A 33-year-old man from Findon has been arrested and charged with child sex offences following an alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl on a public bus in Adelaide, Australia. The incident reportedly occurred around 3:30 PM on a Route 117 bus while traveling from the Adelaide CBD to the western suburbs. Authorities have not released the man’s name but confirmed he was arrested at an Oakden address after police investigations were conducted regarding the incident.

The South Australian police have called on the public for assistance, urging anyone who may have witnessed the alleged assault or has any relevant information to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers. This appeal underscores the seriousness of the situation and the need for community involvement in ensuring the safety of vulnerable individuals in public spaces.

The man was refused police bail and is scheduled to appear in court at the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court the following day. This case highlights ongoing concerns about public safety in Australia, particularly regarding the protection of minors in crowded environments such as public transportation, and emphasizes the importance of reporting suspicious behavior to authorities promptly to help prevent such incidents.
