An athletics coach to national champions, with extensive links to one of the country’s elite Catholic schools, has been convicted of a child sex offence.

Peter Kehoe, 60, of Eaglemont in Victoria, was convicted last month of grooming a child under the age of 16. Kehoe has been placed on the register for sex ­offenders.

Kehoe volunteered for 38 years as athletics coach at St Kevin’s College in Toorak in Melbourne, coaching the school’s cross-country team and distance aspects of its track and field team.

He claims to be a member of St Kevin’s College Athletics Hall of Fame.

The offending occurred last year and Kehoe’s online profile claims he stopped formally coaching St Kevin’s schoolchildren in March 2013.
