Former Sydney swim coach, Dick Caine, 76, has been hit with 11 new historic sexual abuse charges.
NSW Police say the fresh charges relate to alleged incidents in the 1970s and another in 1992.
“In January 2021, officers from Kings Cross Police Area Command received information about multiple sexual and indecent assaults of a teenage girl at a swim school at Carss Park in the 1970s,” NSW Police said in a statement today.
“Kings Cross detectives subsequently established Strike Force Coco to investigate the matter.”
Mr Caine was arrested at his Condell Park home on June 22. He was taken to Bankstown Police Station and charged with six counts of carnal knowledge teacher of girl aged 10-17 years and three counts of assault female and commit act of indecency – between 14 and 16.
The charges related to the alleged indecent and sexual and assault of two girls – when they were aged 15-16 – on a number of occasions in the mid-1970s while they were under his authority as a swimming coach.
As a result of ongoing inquiries, the former coach was today charged at court with an additional seven counts of carnal knowledge teacher of girl aged 10-17 years and a further four counts of indecent assault of female.
