Sydney swimming teacher served with another AVO against new victim

Fresh claims have been made against a swimming teacher charged with the sexual assault of young girls at a Sydney pool, after another alleged victim came forward.

Kyle James Henk Daniels, 20, was last month charged with 31 offences relating to the alleged sexual assault of eight young girls he taught at the Mosman Swim Centre. 

Police this week served Daniels with another Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) in protection of a new alleged victim, who has come forward since police began their investigation.

There are now eight AVOs against Daniels.

Daniels is already charged with 31 offences relating to the alleged sexual assault of young girls at the Mosman Swim Centre, on Sydney’s north shore. He also has eight AVOs against him

Daniels, a University of Sydney student, is alleged to have carried out the attacks ‘in and around the pool’ during lessons between January 1, 2018 and March 2, this year.   

He was arrested on March 12 after detectives from the Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad received multiple complaints against him and began an investigation. 

He was charged with 31 offences including sexual intercourse with a child under 10, intentionally sexually touch a child under 10 and indecent assault of a person under 16.

Court documents showed Daniels’ alleged offences began in January 2018, with the indecent assault of a ten-year-old girl.

Police allege that Daniels had sexual intercourse with a seven-year-old girl eight times in just three weeks. 

The documents also revealed Daniels was still allegedly committing sexual offences on swim students up until 10 days before he was arrested.  

The shocking allegations against Daniels led police to hold an information night on Thursday for concerned parents on the city’s north shore.

One mother who attended the evening told Daily Mail Australia police focused on the common behaviour of children who have been abused, after some of Daniels alleged victims were not discovered for more than a year.

Among the allegations are that Daniels had sexual intercourse with a seven-year-old girl eight times in just three weeks

‘Obviously what has happened has shocked parents. It’s normally such a nice, family orientated area,’ the mother said.

‘Some of those girls didn’t come forward or talk to their parents about it for a long time, so it was really good to learn about what you need to look out for. 

‘I guess you think it will never happen to you, but clearly as we’ve seen, it can.’

Close to 100 parents turned out to the RSVP-only information session, with dozens more whose names were not on the list refused entry.

Those who were allowed into the session said they were told not to ask police about the allegations or investigation into Daniels. 

‘They told us at the start of the session that it wasn’t going to be about the incidents at the swimming pool and that if we asked any questions about it we would be asked to leave,’ one woman said.      

After being arrested on March 12, Daniels spent more than a week in custody before being released on $100,000 bail. He hid his face as he walked out of the Emu Plains Correctional facility accompanied by his mother on March 20 (Pictured)

The alleged sexual assaults carried out by Daniels are alleged to have occurred ‘in and around’ the pool at the Mosman Swim Centre (pictured) between January 2018 and March 2019 

Daniels’ lawyer said his client strongly denied the charges. 

Daniels spent more than a week behind bars after his arrest before being released on bail on Wednesday, March 20.

A surety of $100,000 was posted to secure his freedom, with strict bail conditions of reporting daily to police, not going to pools and surrendering his passport also put in place.

Daniels is due to face Manly Local Court on Tuesday.
