A victim has confronted the coach who deceived and abused her as a child for several years, describing the perpetrator as "selfish, conniving and evil".
"He deserves to be punished for his actions because I will never be able to re-write my past or continue my future without forgetting," the victim said from a remote witness room on Thursday.
Her abuser, who cannot be named for legal reasons, sat silently in the ACT Magistrates Court as he was directly addressed in the victim impact statement.
