Police are seeking the public’s help to identify two men after a woman was allegedly sexually harassed at a popular Canberra swimming location.

A woman was at Kambah pool at around 3:30 pm on 20 March 2025 when she was separately approached by two male strangers, an ACT Policing spokesperson alleged.

It is alleged that both men made inappropriate comments to her and encouraged her to go to the nudist beach section of the Kambah pool with them.

After speaking to her, one of the strangers also allegedly committed an indecent act nearby.
