Sydney swim coach Richard "Dick" Caine has been charged with more historical sexual assault offences after another alleged victim came forward to police.
Mr Caine, 76, was arrested at his Condell Park home in June following a six-month investigation into allegations he assaulted a teenage girl at his swim school in the 1970s.
Since then, more complainants have reported alleged assaults to detectives under Strike Force Coco, which was established to investigate the claims.
Today, Mr Caine was due to appear before Downing Centre Local Court on fresh charges, including four counts of committing an act of indecency against a female and two sexual assault charges.
Police say the charges relate to alleged sexual assault offences committed by Mr Caine against a girl aged between 13 and 15 during the early 1980s.
It will be alleged the girl was a student at his swim school at Carrs Park in Sydney's south.
Mr Caine, who a court has previously heard is terminally ill, now faces 27 charges including carnal knowledge as a teacher of a girl between and 10 and 17.
Police have so far detailed allegations made by seven people — six girls and one woman — between the 1970s and 1990s.
Mr Caine remains on bail, and a court previously heard he denied the allegations against him.
He was not present in court today, and the case was adjourned to November 10.
Magistrate Susan McIntyre told the court Mr Caine would need to appear on the next occasion.
His lawyer, Bryan Wrench, has claimed police charged an "innocent man" who was suffering from late-stage cancer.
"He is going to fight to his dying breath to clear his name, it's a terrible situation," Mr Wrench said in June.
Mr Caine is recognised as one of the country's most successful swim coaches, training 17 Olympians and athletes from other sports.
He has been inducted into the Australian Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.
Investigations under Strike Force Coco are ongoing.
