Australian women’s indoor hockey coach Lauren Austin has pleaded guilty to the indecent assault of a child under her care, while two other more serious charges she was facing have been discontinued.
Austin, 39, was arrested in March last year and charged with indecently dealing with a child over 16 under care/authority, sexual penetration of a child over 16 under their authority, and sexual penetration without consent. All the charges relate to one girl and occurred in Perth.
On Wednesday, she appeared in Perth Magistrates Court and wiped away tears as she pleaded guilty to four of the indecent dealing charges, which the magistrate stated were in relation to kissing the girl. The two sexual penetration charges were dropped.
Austin was granted bail under the condition she not engage with community activities involving supervising children, including as a sports coach at any level.
