WA man charged with Barrow Island assaults

Detectives have charged a 34-year-old man over the alleged indecent assault of two women on Barrow Island off the coast of northern Western Australia.

The charges follow an investigation by the sex assault squad into several incidents that occurred last year on the island, which is the site of the Gorgon Gas Project.

It is alleged that between March and August 2016, Dragan Jovchevski indecently assaulted two women, one aged in her 20s and the other in her 30s.

Jovchevski, from Bertram, has been charged with four counts of unlawful and indecent assault.

He appeared in Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday and is next due to appear on September 21.
