The husband of deceased conwoman Melissa Caddick has been charged with assaulting an elderly woman in a cliff-side park a stone's throw from the couple's former home.
Anthony Koletti, 43, was charged after meeting with police on Wednesday evening over a report made by a 73-year-old woman.
The woman alleged that a man had assaulted her on July 23 at the Lighthouse Reserve in Vaucluse, overlooking Sydney's eastern beaches.
She did not require medical treatment.
The park is a short distance from the Dover Heights home Koletti and Caddick shared before she disappeared in 2020.
Caddick, a self-styled financial adviser, went missing after plundering $23 million from family and friends via an investment scam to live a life of luxury.
The 49-year-old's luxury home had been raided days earlier by ASIC agents investigating her Ponzi scheme.
Coroner Elizabeth Ryan in May 2023 ruled Caddick was dead, but she was unable to determine the cause because most of her body had not been found.
The fraudster's badly decomposed right foot, which was still attached to a running shoe, washed up on a beach on the south coast of NSW in February 2021.
Investors defrauded by Caddick before her disappearance and death will recoup a portion of their $23 million in losses, after settling a class action lawsuit with her auditors earlier this year.
NSW Police investigating the alleged July 23 assault posted CCTV footage to Facebook on Tuesday to identify a man allegedly involved in the matter.
Koletti attended Waverley Police Station on Wednesday evening.
He has been granted conditional bail and is set to appear before a magistrate on September 5.
