The first half of the committal hearing, on August 3, heard from the victim’s mother that her teenage son had a developed a “scary” and dependent friendship with Sinclair after they met through sport.
The mother also alleged her son later told her Sinclair assaulted him over a four-year period from the time he was 10.
Other charges relating to further victims will also proceed on October 11.
