Former NSW MP Rory Amon Denied Bail Variation in Child Sexual Abuse Case

Amon remains on bail and faces 10 charges related to alleged incidents from 2017, with a trial date expected to be set soon.

  • Rory Amon, a former NSW Liberal MP, is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy in 2017 and faces 10 charges, including sexual intercourse with a minor.
  • Amon's request to move to a new home in Potts Point was denied due to concerns raised by the alleged victim, who described the move as 'personally catastrophic.'
  • The court ruled that the risk of Amon encountering the alleged victim and causing psychological distress was too high to allow the bail variation.
  • Prosecutors allege Amon met the alleged victim on a hookup website, misrepresented his age as 17, and engaged in inappropriate conduct.
  • Amon, who resigned from the NSW Liberal Party and his parliamentary position after his arrest, is set to be arraigned soon, with a trial date to follow.
