A man has been arrested and charged with molesting a whale and her calf after beachgoers allege they saw a kitesurfer repeatedly fly too close to the mammals.
Police were called to Christies Beach in Adelaide's south at 10.15am on Saturday after receiving multiple reports of a man kite-surfing close to the whale.
'Patrols spoke to witnesses, who provided photographs and a good description of the kitesurfer,' South Australia Police said in a statement, alleging a similar incident occurred on Friday.
