Former NSW Liberal MP Rory Amon has been found guilty of the rape and indecent assault of a 13-year-old boy in 2017, after meeting him on a dating app.
The ex-member for Pittwater stood trial in the NSW Supreme Court this week on charges of indecent assault of a person under 16, and having sexual intercourse with a person between 10 and 14-years-old.
The court heard Amon connected with the victim on a dating app and first met him in person in July 2017, when they went into the toilet of an underground car park.
The jury deliberated for about four hours, and found the boy was raped and indecently assaulted at that meeting.
Amon had argued he thought the boy was 17.
The matter is listed for sentence hearing later this month.
