A gymnastics club owner and coach has been charged with the sexual abuse of a teenager, with the sports’ governing body announcing the immediate closure of the Gold Coast gym.

Wei Jun Lee, 32, allegedly sexually touched a teenager in a hotel in NSW earlier this year.

The teenager attended Skybound Gymnastics in Burleigh Heads which was run by Lee.

Police began investigating the alleged incident in June.

On Thursday Lee was extradited to Sydney and charged with intentionally sexually touching a child over 10 and under 16 years.

In a statement Gymnastics Australia and Gymnastics Queensland said it was aware of the investigation and that a provisional action had been issued against Lee.

Skybound Gymnastics would be ceasing all operations “effective immediately”, the statement said.

“The safety and wellbeing of children and young people in our sport is our highest priority.”

“Gymnastics in Australia has zero tolerance for any behaviours that puts members or children at risk.

“We are committed to upholding the highest standards of safeguarding and integrity across all levels of sport.”

Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, Lee set up Skybound Gymnastics in 2019 after moving to Queensland from NSW.

There he worked as a tumbling program leader at Sydney Gymnastics and Aquatics Centre for a year and a half before running the gymnastics program at PCYC Auburn in Lidcombe.

A testimonial on the Skybound Gymnastics website described Lee as an “incredibly talented, natural coach, who is always willing to contribute his creative and innovative coaching methods into any gymnastics discipline”.

Skybound Gymnastics offered classes and holiday camps for children aged 2 to 18.

The gym described itself as a “community-focused” club that was “revolutionising the sport of tumbling and trampolining in Queensland”.

Lee was refused bail and appeared in Bail Division Court 7 on Friday.

He was formally refused bail to appear before Blacktown Local Court on Monday.
