A former soccer coach is facing the ACT Magistrates Court on charges of allegedly sexually assaulting a girl in the early 2000s.
Police allege the 51-year-old Victorian man originally met and abused the child over a number of years while he was her soccer coach.
The man faces five charges of sexual intercourse with a child under 16, and committing an act of indecency on a person under 16.
A bomb scare at The Lodge that prompted the prime minister's evacuation has been linked to threats made to Chinese dance group Shen Yun.
Questions remain over police action at Dissent Café and Bar last week, despite confirmation no crime was committed. MLA Thomas Emerson criticised the removal of the satirical posters and called for assurances it won’t happen again.
Posters seized from Civic bar Dissent under new Commonwealth hate symbol laws will be returned after police confirmed no charges will be laid.
