Police release public plea over historical sexual assault
A computer generated image has been released of a man wanted over a sexual assault in Melbourne’s south east more than 40 years ago.
The victim, aged 23 at the time, got into a car with an unknown man on Grey Street, St Kilda, in February 1981.
The man drove to Horry Lane, Elwood, where he sexually assaulted her.
The woman left the car and went to a nearby house for help, with the residents offering to drive her back to her hotel.
The matter was only recently reported to police.
Police have today released a computer generated image of a man wanted for questioning, with investigators also keen to speak to the residents who assisted the woman on the day.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at
