The police say the complaint was filed by a senior government public servant who was at the function with the minister of Communication and Technology, Tuisugaletaua Sofara Aveau.
A police spokesperson, Leaupepe Fatu Pula, says the complaint is being investigated by the criminal investigation department.
It is not known how long the investigation will take.
