A former badminton coach has been released on bail after he allegedly sexually assaulted some of his players more than 40 years ago.

Harry Charles Sadd was arrested last year after Victoria Police’s Special Victim Investigators heard from a victim who claimed they had been assaulted by their coach in the 1960s and 70s.
