Australia deports SA paedophile

Former Grey High School First XV rugby and water polo coach Dean Carelse, who was convicted in Australia after being found with child pornography, has been deported to SA, News24 can confirm. Carelse was a Water Polo Queensland coach when he was arrested in March 2021 after police raided his Mooloolaba home and seized two phones that had more than 2 000 pictures of child exploitation material, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. He pleaded guilty to almost 20 charges, including indecent treatment of a minor child. After spending almost 300 days in custody, the Maroochydore District Court in March sentenced him to two years' imprisonment, suspended after six months for three years. When approached for comment at his mother’s Gqeberha home, Carelse said: ‘I am not willing to talk. That has been closed, the chapter is finished, it's done now.’ Last year, News24 reported on Carelse' paedophilic behaviour while he was a water polo coach at Grey High School in 2002. He sent a shocking text message to his then intimate partner, revealed the My Only Story podcast series and live investigation.
