A Queensland man has been charged following allegations of deceptively recruiting and raping a young English woman on a working holiday in Australia.

Police said the 23-year-old alleges to have been sexually assaulted on a number of occasions after she went to work on a rural property in Mondure, 280km (170 miles) north-west of Brisbane, in January 2017.

A 48-year-old man had been arrested after a joint police and border force investigation, they said.

He was charged with two counts of rape, one of sexual assault and one of deceptive recruitment and was expected to appear in court in Murgon later on Thursday or on Friday.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and they are appealing for anyone who knows of similar offences to contact them.
