The identity of a former elite swimming coach can now be revealed after it was proven he perpetrated dozens of horrific sexual assaults on six young athletes who trained under him in the 1970s and ‘80s. Richard ‘Dick’ Caine, now aged in his late 70s, was on Wednesday found to have committed 39 acts, including rape and indecent assault, on female members of his swimming squad.
The court heard one of the victims held genuine Olympic and Commonwealth Games aspirations that had been dashed due to Caine’s conduct. One of the victims told the court she was a virgin when she was raped by Caine, and had in fact never even been kissed by a boy. A number of the victims gave evidence they were scared of Caine because of his authority and coaching style.
