‘Sex pest predators’ invade nudist beach

- By FRANCESCA GOSLING news@ sundayspor­t. co. uk

ONE of the world’s top nudist beaches is attracting hordes of stiff- willied sex people, locals have complained.

Colleen Graham, who lives near Byron Bay in New South Wales, Australia, said she could no longer walk through the local nature reserve or along the beach without being harassed.

She said: “I’ve had a range of BEACH BUMS: It’s off with the lot at pick- up spot encounters. The most common one is lying on my towel reading a book and a naked man moving his towel very close to me and masturbati­ng.

“I’ve also seen oral sex, group sex, I’ve had a man physically block my way, men standing really close to my face when I’m on a towel, totally naked and trying to interact with me.

“Pretty much every time I visit the beach, I can almost guarantee I’ll have some sort of experience down there.”

The Tyagarah Nature Reserve is listed on public websites as a ‘ beat’ ( a meeting place for sex), but Ms Graham said it had become more than a pick- up spot for consenting adults.

“It’s gone a whole lot further than that now with people who are actually harassing people down there,” she said.

“Now actual sex pests are going there and being predators.”

Police have charged at least two men with sexual assault in the area in recent weeks.
