A Como restaurateur allegedly sexually assaulted a woman after befriending her and her partner at his Preston Street pizzeria.

Police allege Alberto Nicoletti, 29, sexually assaulted the woman at a house on Parke Street in South Perth in September 2018, shortly after meeting her at the Lago di Como restaurant.

The woman, in her 30s, is the seventh victim to come forward and charge Mr Nicoletti with rape after police released security footage of two men exiting a public washroom at Scarborough beach in March shortly after a woman was sexually assaulted indoors.

The vision shows a man washing his hands while the other buttoned his shirt.

Mr Nicoletti and his friend Vincenzo Mineo, 36, are accused of befriending the woman at the nearby Lookout Bar, telling her they were gay and asking if she would like to take cocaine with them in public toilets for the disabled.

After agreeing, the couple allegedly raped her before returning to another beach bar and separately assaulting two other women.

Mr. Nicoletti is also accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the parking lot of his restaurant in 2016.

Four years later, police say he offered to pick up a woman who fell on the sidewalk near the Windsor Hotel in South Perth and raped her in her home.

In December 2020 he was charged with sexually assaulting a woman at Henry Summer in Northbridge and in July he was charged with posing as an Uber driver and assaulting a woman he picked up in front of the Hip- E Club of Leederville.
