Police in Perth are currently searching for a suspect in connection to a series of homophobic attacks targeting men who were lured through an online dating app. The incidents, which took place on September 18th in South Lake, allegedly involved a group of men who targeted and attacked multiple victims.
In an effort to gather more information about the attacks, authorities have released footage of a man who they believe may have valuable information. So far, four teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17 have been charged in connection to the incidents, but police are still working tirelessly to track down all individuals involved.
According to a police spokesperson, the investigation has been a top priority due to the distressing nature of the attacks. They want to ensure that members of the diverse sexuality and/or gender community know that they are not alone and that support and reporting options are available if they have experienced something similar.
In addition to the ongoing investigation, authorities have also condemned the attacks. Premier Roger Cook described them as "insidious" and expressed his hope that the perpetrators will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. He also emphasized the violent and conspiratorial nature of the crimes, stating that there is no place for such behavior in Western Australia.
For those who may be seeking support, resources such as Lifeline and beyond blue are available. MensLine Australia, a helpline specifically for men, can also be reached for assistance. As the search for the suspect continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing justice to the victims.
