That is likely due to referral spam. A spammer is likely using your Google Analytics tracking ID so that activities on their own website end up getting recorded in your own Analytics account. To check, assign "hostname" as your secondary dimension when checking your data and you will see which website is actually the culprit.

To get rid of your spam data and ensure that only actual visits to your website get recorded, create a hostname filter:


Go to "Admin".
Click on "Filters".
Click on "New Filter".
Tick "Create New Filter".
Specify your "Filter Name" (ex. Spam Remover).
Select "Custom".
Select "Include Only" for the "Filter Type".
Select "Traffic to the Hostname" for the "Source or Destination".
Select "That Contain" for the "Expression".
And then under "Hostname", indicate your domain name with a before any period. (ex. if your site is www.mysite.com.au, then it will be mysite.com.au)


And then that's it. Google Analytics will then show you only visits that really ended up on pages with your domain name.
