Police are urging people who have been sexually assaulted by someone they met through dating apps to come forward even if the perpetrator has tried to hide their identity.

Victoria Police issued a fresh warning on Sunday amid concerns victims are only reporting criminal activity via the apps themselves.

Officer in charge of the Sexual Crimes Squad, Detective Inspector Juliann Goldrick, said police fear these matters often go under reported. But it is never the victim’s responsibility to determine whether or not there’s enough evidence, he said, arguing police have a number of methods to hunt down suspects despite limitations.It’s crucial that victims understand that reporting to the dating app is not reporting to police,” Inspector Goldrick said.

He warned predatory sexual behaviour on dating apps could range from physical sexual assault to sending and receiving illicit images.Latest year a report revealed one in five sexual assault cases – which occurred in Sydney’s most popular night spots – stemmed from online dating.

you cant say anything these days without someone taking offence .... if you are offended then dont use the app ... in this day and age everyone knows most of the ads are fake and just grubs playing games ...

Dating apps such as tinder and bumble, built to cater to the hypergamous natures of women. Where they go for their secret sex, where they get to form their harems around the top 10% of men. The dangers will not deter their true natures.
