Seventeen new charges have been laid against a former dance teacher who is accused of sexually assaulting students in Sydney, Australia.
Grant Davies faced Burwood Court via videolink today accused of further child sex offences during his time at the now-defunct RG Dance School.
The new charges include child grooming and acts of indecency and aggravated sexual assault against girls under 16.
One of the offences is alleged to have happened more than a decade ago. It brings the total number of charges to 64.
The 39-year-old was the co-director of the school at Chiswick, in the city's inner west, before he was arrested in May and charged with a string of child sex and grooming charges.
A former Queensland state cricketer, serving 19 years for child sex offences, may face more time in jail after pleading guilty to five more charges.
Ian Harold King, 70, was to have faced five separate trials in the ACT Supreme Court.
But he has now pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual assault and three of committing an act of indecency against young men he had coached in Canberra during the 1980s and 90s. Does this remind you of anyone who's name starts with Sandusky?
King is already in jail after being convicted of 25 charges against boys between 10 and 16 years of age.
He was originally sentenced to 12 years jail, but that was increased to 19 years with a non parole period of 11 years, after an appeal from the prosecution.
King, who lost an eye in a bashing at Canberra's jail earlier this year, appeared briefly in court on Friday.
His lawyer told the court he was still waiting for a medical report on the jail bashing, before sentencing commences on October 24.
The Perth Magistrates Court has been told a former youth counselor accused of abusing young boys 20 years ago, may face similar allegations in New South Wales.
Allan Huggins, 66, is facing 33 charges relating to the alleged abuse of seven young boys in 1990 and 1991. At the time he worked at a government run school for troubled youth, and at an adolescent clinic in Mount Lawley.
Mr Huggins has been in custody since his arrest last month, but today he applied for release on bail.
The application was opposed by prosecutors who told the court there are also allegations against Mr Huggins dating back to the 1980s when he worked at a residential college at the University of New England in New South Wales.
The court was also told Mr Huggins was placed on probation after being convicted of indecent dealing in 1991 in the Western Australia town of Albany.
One of the men alleged to have been abused by Mr Huggins says the alleged offences have had a huge impact on his life.
"I haven't been able to hold down a job for very long, haven't had a relationship in 10 years, and there's not really a day goes by that I don't think about it," he said.
The bail application was adjourned until next week.
