Ex-NSW MP Rory Amon convicted of raping a 13-year-old boy
Former New South Wales Liberal politician Rory Amon was found guilty by a jury of raping a 13-year-old boy following a supreme court trial. He remains on bail awaiting a sentencing hearing on November 27.
A jury found 37-year-old former NSW Liberal MP Rory Amon guilty of one count of sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 14 and indecently assaulting a child. The verdict follows his second supreme court trial after an earlier jury failed to reach a verdict on those charges. The charges stemmed from interactions that began on an adults-only website in 2017. Amon maintained his innocence, claiming he believed the boy was over 16, but the conviction forces him to face a significant jail term with sentencing scheduled for November 27.
