Appeal for witnesses to alleged rape PASSERSBY might have unknowingly witnessed the rape and robbery of a 60-year-old woman on the foreshore at Scarborough, north of Brisbane, allegedly by a teenager. Police have appealed for assistance from anyone who was using the bikeway near the corner of Esplanade Scarborough and Eversleigh Rd when the woman was attacked between 5am and 6am on Saturday. A 19-year-old Zillmere man has been charged with rape, assault, stealing and deprivation of liberty and is being held in custody after appearing today at the Redcliffe Magistrates Court. He is due to appear in court again on June 12. Detective Senior Sergeant Ben Fadian of Redcliffe CIB said police wished to speak to other people who were using the area for their morning exercise when the attack took place. "They may not have thought anything was untoward - it may have looked like there was nothing going on but we'd appeal to anyone who was using the area at the time to contact Crime Stoppers," he said.
