Rory Amon, a former NSW Liberal MP, has been found guilty by a jury of raping and indecently assaulting a 13-year-old boy in a car park toilet in 2017. The 37-year-old faced charges of sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 14, and indecently assaulting a child. Amon had previously faced trial in March 2026, where a different jury acquitted him on eight separate charges of child sexual offending but could not reach a verdict on these two counts. The boy had met Amon through an adults-only website before exchanging explicit images, and they arranged to meet at the boy’s parent’s apartment block on the northern beaches. The court heard that Amon argued he thought the boy was 17. The matter is now listed for a sentence hearing later this month.
