More disturbing allegations have emerged as the son of Ian Thorpe’s former swim coach was slapped with 38 new child sex abuse charges against more than a dozen alleged victims.
The St George Shire Standard can exclusively reveal Paul Frost, 44, has been charged with 99 child sex abuse offences against 15 alleged victims at his latest appearance at Bankstown Local Court on Thursday.
The former Masterchef contestant and primary school teacher is now accused of molesting 14 boys and one girl aged eight to 16 between 1997 and 2009 when he worked at his father’s Doug Frost Swim School in Padstow.
The most distressing new claims laid out in the latest court documents include that Paul Frost allegedly orally and anally raped four of the boys on multiple occasions, as well as kissing two of them on the mouth.
The documents indicate police will allege at least one of those boys was subjected to a four-year campaign of abuse, with charges pertaining to assaults which allegedly began when the boy was 11 and continued until he was 15.
The documents also allege Paul Frost rubbed the alleged female victim’s vagina over and under her swimsuit and repeatedly forced her to perform sexual acts when she was only 10 years old.
The other new allegations of sexual assault against the children are too graphic and distressing to be repeated.
At previous court dates pertaining to the earlier charges the court heard Paul Frost also allegedly swam naked with the boys, plied them with alcohol before showing them pornography, repeatedly touched their genitalia over and under their speedos and forced the boys to touch each other.
He was granted strict conditional bail after seven days behind bars following his initial arrest in September, leaving him effectively housebound in advance of a criminal trial.
Paul Frost may only leave the house in the company of his wife, mother or selected friends, in addition to reporting to police daily.
He is also forbidden from being around children unsupervised except for his own.
He also lost his contracted employment as a primary school teacher at Malabar Public School in Sydney’s south and as a university tutor at the University of New South Wales after the charges were laid.
He will return to court in 2020.
