Former NSW MP Rory Amon found guilty of raping 13-year-old boy in carpark toilet

Former New South Wales Liberal MP Rory Amon has been found guilty of offences involving a 13-year-old boy, including sexual intercourse with a child aged 10 to 14 and indecent assault. The verdict follows a second trial and brings the former politician, who maintains he believed the boy was over 16, closer to sentencing.

The jury deliberated for about four hours. Amon was acquitted of eight other child sexual offending charges in March, while the jury could not reach a verdict on these two counts at that trial. The case concerned contact through an adults-only website, an exchange of explicit images and a 2017 meeting; Amon remains on bail and is due back in court for sentencing on 27 November.
