Man charged with sexual assault after Gold Coast joggers allegedly groped

A man who allegedly grabbed two Gold Coast women on the buttocks while they were out jogging, has been charged with sexual assault.

Queensland police said the first woman was walking towards her Southport apartment building on Sunday morning when a man approached her and inappropriately touched her buttocks.

The incident was captured on CCTV.

Police allege the same man touched the buttocks of another woman who was out jogging on Oxley Drive at Hollywell in January last year.

The 40-year-old Hope Island man presented himself at the Southport police station last night and was charged with two counts of sexual assault.

He is due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court early next month.

Police are asking any other women who believe they may have been victims of a similar offence to contact them.
