Accused (72) denies allegations he indecently and sexually assaulted five boys in various locations between 1978 and 1993

The fifth complainant, now aged 56, told Paul Greene SC, prosecuting, on Thursday that he joined a sports team coached by the man when he was about 12.

The complainant said the incidents continued on a weekly basis until he was 15. He said he received money from the man. The complainant said he persuaded his father to allow him to move schools. The witness also rejected Mr Peart’s suggestion that he made up a story about being tied up in the woods. Mr Peart put it to the man that he told the jury he was burnt with a cigarette to make the story “more believable”.In earlier evidence, the fourth complainant, now aged 52, told Mr Greene he first met the accused when he started playing sports aged about seven.

The complainant said he returned to the office a few times, and the defendant would “put his hands down your pants” and fondle his penis.
