Coach arrested on rape allegations

Ricki Lee, a 51 year-old cycling coach from Perth, Australia, was arrested in Lehigh Township, Pennsylvania upon allegations of raping a 15 year-old girl according to television station WFMZ.

He allegedly was introduced to his victim, not a member of the team, online and is being held in the Northampton County Prison on US$125,00 in bail.
