Amamoor Assault: Urgent Appeal

Gympie Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) detectives are currently seeking additional information from the public as part of their ongoing investigation into a distressing case of rape and serious assault that occurred in Amamoor, Queensland. The incident, which took place in October, involved a 45-year-old local man who is alleged to have physically and sexually assaulted a woman at a shared residential property.

The suspect, who resides in a separate dwelling on the same property as the victim, has been charged with multiple offenses including rape, attempted rape, and serious assault of a person over 60. Following these charges, he was taken into custody and is scheduled to appear before the Gympie Magistrates Court on January 19, 2026.

In light of recent developments, Detective Acting Sergeant Kiel Duggen from Gympie CIB has expressed concerns that there may be additional victims. Investigations have revealed that the accused might have previously propositioned other women who resided at the property. Authorities are reaching out to anyone who may have been victimized by the suspect to come forward and report their experiences, assuring potential informants that all claims will be addressed with the utmost sensitivity and respect.

The Queensland Police are urging those with any relevant information to contact them. Should there be an immediate threat, the public is advised to dial Triple Zero (000). For non-immediate reports, individuals can contact Policelink or submit information through the online suspicious activity form available 24/7. In addition, the State-wide Sexual Assault Helpline and 1800 RESPECT are available around the clock for confidential information, counseling, and support.

With the investigation ongoing, community cooperation is crucial in ensuring all potential leads are thoroughly examined and that justice is served.
