Dean Carelse has been deported back to South Africa after pleading guilty to almost 20 charges that included 14 counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16 in March 2021.

Carelse was working as a water polo coach at a private school in Queensland, Australia, when “items were seized from an address in Mooloolaba that led to officers arresting Dean Carelse,” says the Sydney Morning Herald.

ABC News reported that “other charges included possession of child exploitation material, and grooming a child under 16 years old for sex.”

“Maroochydore District Court convicted him in March 2022 to a sentence of two years, suspended after six months for three years.”

Carelse served almost 300 days in custody before being deported back to South Africa in September 2022.

According to News24, prior to leaving the country, the 42-year-old had had paedophilia allegations levelled against him at Grey High School.

News24 has also indicated that Carelse currently resides at his family residence in Gqeberha, Port Elizabeth.
