Former Australian Olympic swimming team physio Peter John Wells accused of child sex offences


A former Australian Olympic swimming team physiotherapist accused of child sex offences allegedly spanning across several years has had his matter briefly heard in court.



Brisbane man Peter John Wells was arrested last month and charged with several offences including three counts of indecent treatment of a child under the age of 16.



Police allege the incidents occurred between 2002 and 2010 at the 51-year-old's physio practice in Kelvin Grove and a sports complex in Chandler.



Mr Wells, who is on bail, was meant to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court for the first time since being charged on Tuesday, but his appearance was excused.
