Former Australian politician Rory Amon, 37, has been convicted of r@ping a 13-year-old boy in an underground car park toilet after meeting him through an “ad¥lts-only” website.
Amon was found guilty on Friday of s+x¥al interco¥rse with a person aged between 10 and 14 and indecently a§§aulting a child.
The court heard that the pair exchanged explicit pictures before meeting in 2017 at a car park beneath the boy’s apartment block. Amon claimed he believed the teenager was at least 17 years old.
The boy later reported the incident to a teacher, prompting a police investigation.
At the time, Amon was working for federal Mackellar MP Jason Falinski. He later served two terms on Northern Beaches Council before representing Pittwater in New South Wales.
He was expelled from the Liberal Party and resigned after facing charges in 2023.
Friday’s conviction followed Amon’s second Supreme Court trial. In March, a jury acquitted him of eight other child s+x¥al offence charges but could not reach a verdict on the two counts for which he was convicted.
