Mosman swim instructor touched nine girls ‘on or near their genitals’, jury told

“I don’t think I have it, but it was an accident,” Prince said when Daniels was informed that he had been complained about him.

Police were contacted after the two alleged victims complained to their parents.

The prosecutor showed the jury a sticky note from one of the victims, an eight-year-old girl, and wrote, “I didn’t like the swimming lesson because the teacher touched my _________.” ..

Prince said it was the “vagina” that lacked the phrase “I didn’t want to write to my parents.”

The prosecution said another 7-year-old girl, allegedly touched under the swimmer, had been evaluated to improve her swimming performance, and later said, “She didn’t want to be touched by her, so she went up to class. I was particularly excited. ” It’s already private. “

He lay on her back when one of the 6-year-old girls was practicing a kick in a swimming lesson when the teacher “pushed her genitals very hard and hurt” in early 2019. I explained that. The girl said to the police, “My genitals felt like bugs,” and felt pain. The crown claims that the “worm” was Daniels’ finger.

Prince said the King’s proceedings were “nothing accidental, clumsy, or careless” about Daniels’ alleged actions.

He said each of the nine girls made similar claims about “certain anomalous” behavior during the lesson. It was “not a coincidence”.

“”[It] It shows a clear pattern of behavior. “

Attorney Leslie Nichols said the allegation that Daniels “intentionally and intentionally touched the plaintiff’s private territory” was “strongly denied in the most reliable way possible.”

“I’ve heard him say’not guilty’for all charges,” Nichols said. “He has never deliberately or deliberately touched the complainant in a sexually or obscene or illegal manner.”

According to Nichols, Mosman’s 25-meter swimming pool was covered with seven high-definition CCTV cameras, and staff reviewed the footage and found nothing wrong.

Barristers criticized the police officer in charge of his client’s case and the way she investigated, calling it “humiliation.”

“The role she played and the media circus she created during the course of the trial will see how it improperly and unfairly affected the child’s petitioner,” Nichols said. Stated.

“By Wednesday, you’ll get clear and clear evidence of where this police detective did himself in the most inappropriate way, and that’s not just what I’m saying. You You will have the document. “

The five-week trial is expected to hear evidence from many, including each of the nine girls and their parents.

The trial continues.
