A suspected serial sex offender who has links to Fiji has been caught by Australian Police accused of preying on multiple women across Western Sydney.

26‑year‑old Auburn man, Ratu Vesikula faced a Magistrate yesterday and was refused bail for his alleged crimes.

He is accused of allegedly indecently assaulting three women in separate attacks in Auburn last weekend.

Each time it is believed he allegedly approached the women from behind, detained them and assaulted them.

In one case, he allegedly pushed his body on the victim and kissed on the face.

In another case, he allegedly groped his victim.

In the third case, Ratu Vesikula is alleged to have groped the woman and ripped her pants.

Australian Police believe there may be more victims.

Ratu Vesikula will remain behind bars until the 29th of next month when he reappears in court.
