Alleged Rock Spider speaks out about sexual assault accusations

Swimming coach Scott Volkers is considering legal action [?] over renewed calls for charges against him to be reinstated.

On Monday 10 Feb one of the women behind the allegations said both sides deserve their day in court.

Volkers has said he wants to get on with his life.

Volkers: "You know mud sticks, it doesn't matter how loosely it's thrown," he said.

"There's two sides to every story and you don't get to hear mine and I guess that's by our choice, we'll certainly be looking into the show from last night and taking the law to the fullest extent."
