West Australian track cycling coach Rick Lee is returning to Australia after United States of America authorities dropped charges against the 51 year-old and released him from protective custody. Lee was being held on charges of raping a 15 year-old girl in July while in USA with a team of junior Australian cyclists.
Lee was to face charges of statutory rape, aggravated indecent assault, burglary and trespass after the girl claimed to have been attacked by Lee. While the girl claimed to not know and had never had contact with Lee in an affidavit, Lee admitted to contacting the girl and attending her home after she posed as a 19-year-old.
