The jury in the trial of Kyle Daniels, the former Mosman swim instructor accused of sexually abusing his young students, has been discharged after failing to reach a verdict on most of the charges faced by the young coach.
The jurors had deliberated for just over a day before being discharged by District Court Judge Kara Shead on Monday.
They cleared Mr Daniels of five charges relating to the same girl at 1pm on Thursday, about 3.5 hours after beginning their deliberations.
But an early note to the judge made it clear there were deep divisions.
A second note, advising the five verdicts had been reached, contained a declaration of stalemate on the remaining 21 charges.
