David Mackenzie, a former water polo coach at the prestigious St Andrew's College, believes the police have mounted an investigation into him in retaliation for going after them, his lawyer told News24.
The police have re-opened a sexual grooming case against Mackenzie as part of an organised crime investigation into a ring of allegedly predatory teachers and sports coaches who targeted elite athletes.
The operation, dubbed Operation Nemo, was announced at a media briefing on Thursday.
