The LTA said on Monday it received a complaint last December about a case concerning a coach who worked at Hertfordshire County LTA when Corrie was a member of that body's Executive Committee.
The coach was investigated and sanctioned by the LTA Disciplinary Committee at the time.
An LTA statement said it had undertaken a full internal review and commissioned a further independent investigation.
Corrie said it was right for him to step aside temporarily during the investigation.
"I would not wish my presence in this significant public role to become a distraction from the very good work the LTA is currently doing in the safeguarding arena," he said.
