Fourteen people have made complaints to police against a female Adelaide cheerleading coach who is being prosecuted for child sex offences, a court has heard.
The cheerleading coach, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will fight allegations she sexually exploited a child between 2015 and 2017.
The Adelaide Magistrates Court has previously heard the allegations arose from a "jealous rivalry" between two cheerleading squads.
Today, prosecutors told the court there were more than a dozen people who had complained to police, but investigators still had to determine whether the allegations constituted an offence.
"There's a total of 14 who have made allegations which may constitute a criminal offence," prosecutors told the court.
The court also heard nine of those alleged offences occurred when the accused was a youth herself.
The alleged offending involved several acts of inappropriate touching, as well as the coach allegedly showing videos to the child.
Craig Caldicott, for the accused, told Chief Magistrate Judge Mary-Louise Hribal his client was ready to enter her not guilty pleas now and be committed to the District Court.
But Judge Hribal said she could not do that, and the accused woman would have to come back before the lower court in October to answer the charge.
