“There has been a guy approaching women on the beach, on the street, basically anywhere deemed public space across all of the eastern suburbs … filming women without their consent when they are caught off guard,” the post said.
“He appears friendly enough, however, what these women don’t know is that their bodies, faces and reactions are being recorded and for some of them, posted to his 1.2 million followers on Instagram and TikTok.”
Ms McFadden said one of the women posted only found out she had been filmed when a friend from the UK sent her the video.

In a statement to news.com.au, NSW Police said they were aware of the content after one of the women reported the incident.
“Police have commenced an investigation into an alleged breach of the Listening Devices Act committed at Bondi on Friday 7 February 2025,” the statement said.
