Kogarah dance studio 'sex attack': Man hit with two extra charges of having sexual intercourse with child under 10

The man charged over the alleged sexual assault of a child, and the assault of two men at Kogarah last year, was charged with an additional two offences when he appeared in court today.

Anthony Sampieri, 55, was again refused bail over the alleged attack on a seven-year-old girl in a toilet next to the St George Dance Studio, where the girl had been taking lessons, on November 15.

Police arrested him at 7.55pm after being called to commercial premises on Railway Parade, Kogarah, after reports of the concern for welfare of a child and the stabbing of a man who came to her aid.

Police will allege in court that Sampieri physically and sexually assaulted the girl in a bathroom at the building.

Two other men confronted and attempted to detain the man, and a struggle allegedly ensued, leaving one of the men, aged 46, with several stab wounds. That man has since made a full recovery.

Detectives laid additional charges - two counts of sexual intercourse with child under 10 - during Sampieri's court appearance at Central Local Court today.

He remains in custody and is next due to appear at the same court Thursday, May 30.
