A jailed former professional cricketer and ex-junior coach has been charged with two child sex offences.
Ian Harold King, 79, did not appear in the ACT Magistrates Court for the first mention of two indecency charges on Monday.
One accuses King of committing an indecent act on a child aged between 10 and 16, while the other alleges he committed an indecent act in the presence of a child within the same age bracket.
The charges were not read aloud, so it is unclear when the alleged crimes are said to have occurred.
Aboriginal Legal Service lawyer Sam Lynch, who appeared on King's behalf, asked on Monday for a two-week adjournment "to finalise instructions".
Mr Lynch told the court King was currently serving a jail term, which would keep him behind bars as a sentenced prisoner "for quite a considerable period".
Magistrate James Stewart adjourned the case of King, who has not entered pleas, until June 20.
