Prosecutors have dropped all outstanding child abuse charges against former Sydney swimming instructor Kyle Daniels.
The 24-year-old was accused of inappropriate sexual contact with nine young female students while working as a part-time swim instructor at a Mosman pool in 2018 and 2019.
Mr Daniels pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies ever intentionally touching any student inappropriately.
In October, a jury acquitted him of 10 out of 21 child sexual abuse charges, including five counts of sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 10.
The jury was discharged after remaining divided on 11 counts — five charges of indecent assault and six charges of intentionally sexually touching a child.
Today, Crown prosecutor Tony McCarthy told the court "the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) directed there be no further proceedings in relation to any of the outstanding counts".
In a statement, Mr Daniels's lawyer Urania Zafiris said the DPP's decision not to pursue a third trial was "appropriate".
"Mr Daniels has always maintained his innocence of all charges in respect of these matters," she said.
"The jury verdicts and decision to discontinue are an entirely appropriate outcome consistent with that innocence."
Mr Daniels did not appear in court but listened in to his case via video link.
He has faced two trials, with the jury being discharged both times for being unable to reach a verdict on all charges.
Mr Daniels told the first trial he was "dumbfounded" and "scared" when he first learned of the allegations after his arrest in March 2019, which initially related to two girls before others came forward.
The second trial heard evidence from the young complainants, which Mr Daniels's lawyers argued had been influenced or contaminated.
They suggested parents who came forward after Mr Daniels's arrest were influenced by what they saw about the case in the media, and in turn influenced their children.
