After leaving the nightclub the quartet went to an address in Fitzroy and then attended St Vincent’s Hospital after the victim’s friend suffered an unrelated medical episode.

“The victim and one of the men left the hospital and travelled to a house in Mickleham where the victim has told investigators she was sexually assaulted,” police spokeswoman Creina O’Grady said.

Police said they were no longer seeking assistance to identify the man pictured in the appeal for information.
