Investigators have released CCTV images of the alleged offender.

Police are appealing for public assistance in relation to a sexual assault which occurred at famous Melbourne venue The Espy earlier this year. 

The incident occurred at the St Kilda venue at around 1am on 23 February, where police say a 28-year-old woman was touched inappropriately from behind by a man, who was then removed from the premises.

Detectives from Moorabbin Sexual Offence and Child Abuse Investigation Team are investigating the matter, with CCTV images of the alleged offender being released today.

Anyone who recognises the man in question or who may have witnessed the assault is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online here.
