A man who visited caravan parks across Queensland allegedly used a mobile phone to illegally record a woman at a Far North Queensland accommodation facility, as police call for potential victims to come forward.

Detectives from the Mossman Criminal Investigation Branch have charged a 42-year-old man after he allegedly recorded a woman without her consent in a private place.

Police are alleging the man used a phone to record a woman at a Cape Tribulation accommodation facility about 9pm on November 13.

Officers further allege the woman confronted the man, before he fled the facility.

Two hours later police located the man on Mossman Daintree Rd and he was taken into custody where he was charged with one count of observations or recordings in breach of privacy.

It is understood the alleged offender visited and stayed in caravan parks, campsites, and other budget accommodation in a number of areas across the state.

“This alleged behaviour is not tolerated in our community, and we are appealing for public assistance to ensure all potential offending is fully investigated,” he said.

The alleged offender is due to appear at the Mossman Magistrates Court on December 4.
