An Australian man has been taken into custody after allegedly inappropriately touching one of the security company's local female employees.
An Australian man working as a security supervisor for the Paladin company on Manus Island has been arrested and charged with sexual harassment.
"The victim reported the matter of sexual harassment to the management of the Paladin security company but no action was taken [so] she reported the matter to police," he said. SBS News asked the Department of Home Affairs if it was aware of the incident and if it would affect its relationship with Paladin.
Spokesperson Ian Rintoul said the man was dismissed from security company G4S for the"mistreatment of asylum seekers" when they were transferred to Manus Island in late 2013."[We understand] he was throwing food at them and there were complaints made ... But somehow he found employment again."
