Former Australian sprint champion charged with child sex offence
The 26-year-old from Magnetic Island off Townsville was arrested after a police investigation into alleged indecent treatment of children.
Former Australian sprint champion Jake Doran, a two-time 200m champion, has been charged with a child sex offence. The 26-year-old, who competed at two world championships and the 2022 Commonwealth Games, was arrested last week in Townsville, Queensland. Doran has been provisionally suspended by Australian Athletics following the allegations of indecent treatment of a child under 16.
He was bailed to reappear in court on November 5. Australian Athletics, in a statement, emphasized their commitment to the safety and wellbeing of all participants, stating that they take such allegations very seriously. The provisional suspension prohibits Doran from attending any club, member association, or Australian Athletics events, as well as participating in training.
