The retrial of a Sydney swimming coach accused of sexually assaulting eight young girls will get underway in October.
Kyle James Henk Daniels, 22, was ordered to undergo a retrial after a jury was unable to reach a verdict last December on 21 of the 26 charges initially laid against him by NSW Police.
Daniels was cleared by the jury of five charges after a high-profile eight-week trial.
Those five charges related to one girl, aged seven, and included accusations Daniels had indecently assaulted and had sexual intercourse with the child.
His barrister Leslie Nicholls and Crown Prosecutor Karl Prince returned before Judge Kara Shead in the NSW District Court on Monday to set the trial down for October 11.
