Former Hunter Tennis Coach To Face Court Over Alleged Historical Child Sex Abuse Charges

BY IAN CROUCH

A former tennis coach is due to face court over the alleged historical indecent assault of a young girl in the Hunter.

In June 2017, Hunter Valley detectives began an investigation into alleged offences against a teenager in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The 57-year-old was issued with a Court Attendance Notice on July 30 this year and is expected to make his first appearance in Maitland Local Court today (Wednesday 9 September, 2020).

Police will allege the man was coaching the girl, then aged between 13 and 17 when he indecently assaulted her on multiple occasions in the East Maitland and Hunter region.
