A coach has methodically abused his position and a young girl's aspirations of playing sport professionally to indecently assault her numerous times over more than a year.
The 71-year-old predator, who cannot be named for legal reasons, eventually attempted to convince the child to begin a sexual relationship with him.
On Wednesday, the offender pleaded guilty to four counts of committing an act of indecency on a child under special care, and one count each of committing an act of indecency on a child and the intimate capturing of visual data.
