The jury in the trial of Sydney swimming coach Kyle Daniels has been discharged after failing to reach a verdict for the majority of his child sexual abuse charges.
Key points:
The remaining 10 were deadlocked with no prospect of a resolution
Jurors in the seven-week sexual abuse case, involving nine girls, were offered counselling
Mr Daniels pleaded not guilty to 26 charges related to nine young girls who he taught at the Mosman Swim Centre between 2018 and 2019.
The evidence of nine young girls and their parents against Mosman swim coach Kyle Daniels was "contaminated" and unreliable, a Sydney court has been told.
