A gymnastics coach is stood down after an allegation that they assaulted a child at a gym in Brisbane. Multiple outlets report the claim has been raised through the sport’s governing and integrity structures, and police are now investigating the matter.
According to reporting, the incident is not limited to internal processes: it is referred to peak gymnastics and sports integrity bodies, which take responsibility for managing the allegation within the sport. At the same time, police inquiries begin as the allegation is treated as a potential criminal matter.
The outlets’ accounts align on the core timeline—standing down, referral to integrity bodies, and a police investigation—but do not provide additional verified details about the circumstances of the alleged assault, the identity of the coach, or any formal charges. The reports also do not specify whether the coach is facing charges, and the matter remains subject to investigation.
