A French man wanted for the alleged sexual assault of a woman after she had fallen at a nightclub on New Year's Day has faced court.

Police say Berguiga helped a woman from the dance floor after she fell while celebrating New Year's Eve with friends at a Melbourne nightclub.

It is alleged he then sexually assaulted the woman shortly after, about 4.30am on January 1, on Corrs Lane, a laneway in Melbourne's CBD.

Berguiga is accused of leading the victim to Little Bourke Street before leaving the area, police claim.

He was arrested at Sydney Airport about 12pm on January 4 and extradited to Melbourne.

Among his charges are two counts of rape, intentionally sexually touching without consent, assault and recklessly causing injury to bruise shoulder, causing soreness to head and grazes to knees, court documents reveal.

He is further accused of driving on Russell Street and King Street in Melbourne's CBD on January 1 without a licence.

Berguiga, who was assisted by a French interpreter, does not speak any English and was vulnerable in custody due to his young age, his lawyer told the court.

She said it was his first time in custody and asked for her client to be seen by a mental health nurse.

He had one supporter in court, who waved at him and the magistrate during the brief hearing.

Berguiga did not apply for bail and will return to court for a committal mention on April 10.

A woman was found dead on Jan 1; a man was found the next day elsewhere on the property.

One motorist was recently stopped after driving at more than twice the speed limit.

Australians are part of the growing number of people worldwide who have been targeted on Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok, which allowed sexualised images of women and children to be generated without their consent.

Grok Imagine, an AI image generator that allows users to create photos and videos with text prompts, was first launched in July but started causing issues after it was opened to the public in October.

The tool, which is hosted on X, has been allowing users to nudify images of or sexually depict others as recently as today.

Grok differs from other AI generative platforms as the images are publicly shared and can be easily spread.

Since late last year, the eSafety Commission has received several reports of Grok being used to generate unconsensual sexualised images.

"Some reports relate to images of adults, which are assessed under our Image-Based Abuse scheme, while others relate to potential child sexual exploitation material, which are assessed under our Illegal and Restricted Content scheme," a spokesperson said.

The reports of adults are currently being assessed, while reports of children did not meet the threshold for child sexual exploitation material.

eSafety has not taken any action, but said it was worried about the use of generative AI.

"eSafety remains concerned about the increasing use of generative AI to sexualise or exploit people, particularly where children are involved," the spokesperson said.

Analysis from non-profit outfit AI Forensics said in a report that it analysed 20,000 images generated by Grok between December 25 and January 1 and found that two per cent depicted a person who appeared to be 18 or younger, including 30 of young or very young women or girls, in bikinis or transparent clothes.

One of the victims includes Musk's former partner, Ashley St Clair, who became estranged from the tech billionaire after the birth of their child in 2024.

She told The Guardian users have used Grok to create "revenge porn".

"I felt horrified, I felt violated, especially seeing my toddler's backpack in the back of it," she told the publication. 

X did not deny that unconsensual sexualised content exists on Grok, but warned that users could be suspended or referred to law enforcement.

"We take action against illegal content on X, including Child Sexual Abuse Material, by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary," X said through its Safety account.

"Anyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content."

But governments and regulators around the world called for Musk's platform to do more to combat abusive content. 

The United Kingdom's Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said the content is "absolutely appalling, and unacceptable in decent society".

"We cannot and will not allow the proliferation of these demeaning and degrading images, which are disproportionately aimed at women and girls," she said.

The country's communications regulator Ofcom said it made "urgent contact" with X.

The European Union said it was aware of the content and strongly condemned Grok.

"This is not spicy. This is illegal. This is appalling. This is disgusting. This is how we see it, and this has no place in Europe. This is not the first time that Grok is generating such output," European Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier said.

France, Poland, India, Malaysia and Brazil also called for Musk to implement strict rules and take action.

The brother of Bondi terror attack victim Peter Meagher has used his eulogy to deliver a poignant message to the NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on gun reform.

The 61-year-old was a highly decorated police detective as well as a loving family man and pillar of the Randwick rugby club.

"Every text message, WhatsApp and voicemail from Peter begins with 'hi darling' and ends with 'I love you'," his wife Virginia said at his funeral today.

Meagher was working as a freelance photographer capturing Hanukkah celebrations at Bondi before the terrorists opened fire.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Michael Fitzgerald said he was a man who "believed in justice, and believed in good".

Today, during his funeral service in St Mary's Cathedral, Peter's brother, David, used his eulogy to send a strong message about gun reform.

"Gun reform alone will not solve hatred or extremism, but an antisemite without a gun is just a hate-filled person," he said.

"An antisemite with a gun is a killer.

"The killer on December 14 had six legally acquired high-powered guns.

"Under new laws, he would have been allowed to have four guns. What can you do with six guns that you can't do with four?"

Meagher referenced the rushed reforms through state parliament in the wake of the attack that claimed 15 innocent lives before asking friends to remember his brother for the life he lived rather than his death. 

"But if you do think about how his life ended, perhaps reflect on what can be done to prevent it from happening to someone else."

The call to lawmakers was made shortly before Peter's coffin was saluted by the federal and NSW police commissioners, and blessed by the prime minister and premier.

Perth's south-west and north-west also ranked highly, in second and fourth place respectively.

Brisbane's inner city was ranked the second healthiest place to live with long life expectancy around 84 years, low rates of premature death and favourable environmental conditions.

The study noted Brisbane's south, which came in fifth place, also had similar favourable health outcomes.

Sydney's eastern suburbs was ranked the sixth healthiest place to live due to good healthcare access with eight doctors to every 1000 people and an average life expectancy of 84.9 years.

Inner Melbourne and Inner South Melbourne claimed the seventh and eighth spots for excellent healthcare and decent climate conditions despite some colder days.

Adelaide's central and hills and the Australian Capital Territory rounded out the top 10, thanks to low overcrowding, strong health outcomes and good access to hospitals.
