Police were called to an incident about 11.15am on Tuesday outside of a sporting store, opposite the Big W carpark on Grenville Street following reports of some type of sexual offences.
A 25-year-old Ballarat man has subsequently been arrested and charged with sexual offences.
He was remanded to appear at Ballarat Magistrates’ Court on May 30.
Detectives from the Ballarat Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team still wish to speak to a number of people who were in the area at the time.
It’s believed a man wearing a green shirt stopped to speak to the 19-year-old female victim following the incident, and a woman driving a white 4WD also stopped to speak with the victim and other people in the vicinity.
Police would like to speak with both of those people, as well as anyone else who may have witnessed the incident.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report online at
