Olympic cyclist Mark Jamieson has escaped an immediate jail term for child sex offences.
Jamieson, 26, pleaded guilty to four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse and one count of indecent assault over offences which occurred in Adelaide between November 2008 and January 2009.
The unlawful sexual intercourse offences related to a 15-year-old who was his girlfriend at the time while the indecent assault charge related to another 15-year-old girl.
In the South Australian District Court on Tuesday, Judge Mark Griffin imposed a head sentence of two years and six months with a non-parole period of 12 months.
However, the judge suspended both terms, placing Jamieson on a three-year good behaviour bond.
Judge Griffin said Jamieson had acted immaturely, but had lost much because of his offending, including his promising international cycling career.
