A man accused of groping a child at a Selena Gomez concert has had his bail revoked after allegedly exposing himself on public transport.
Police allege the 30-year-old groped a child and a woman at the US pop star’s concert at Margaret Court Arena on August 6 last year.
The Altona Meadows man faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday on fresh charges. He allegedly exposed himself twice on the 412 bus between Laverton and Footscray on March 6 while on bail.
He is also charged with possessing child pornography images and videos, as well as two counts of stalking.
The man’s bail was revoked on Wednesday following the most recent charges, the court heard.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Giovanni Lazzaro said it took a year and a half for police to investigate the child pornography charge, which involved a great deal of technological analysis.
The man is also facing charges of groping and rubbing against a person in a sexual manner without their consent.
About 18 witnesses, including children, are expected to give evidence in relation to the groping charges, the court heard.
The man’s lawyer, Kimberly Phair, said her client suffered depression and suicidal thoughts, and had asked to see a psychologist. He was remanded to face court again on April 21.
