Sexual Crime Squad detectives have charged a man following the sexual assault of an 18-year-old woman last week.
A 48-year-old Bundoora man was arrested at his home address this morning and subsequently interviewed by police.
He has been charged with a range of offences including rape and sexual assault.
He will appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later today.
The charges follow an alleged incident on Sunday, 5 May after the woman was picked up outside a licensed venue in the St Kilda area by what she believed to be a rideshare vehicle.
