US EditionKiama MP Told Alleged Rape Victim ‘He’d Take Care of Him’, Court Told
- Gareth Ward, previously a member of the NSW Cabinet, is currently facing trial in Sydney for alleged sexual offenses committed in 2013 and 2015 involving two men at his residences.
- Ward was charged in 2022 after one complainant reported an alleged assault from when he was 18, and another alleged rape after a 2015 Parliament event.
- Court testimony described Ward initiating unwanted sexual contact despite refusal, offering the older complainant accommodation, and saying he "would take care of me."
- The alleged 18-year-old reported the 2013 incident in 2020, the 24-year-old complainant spoke to police in 2022, and a 15-member jury hears the four-week trial.
- Ward denies all charges, and the trial’s outcome will affect his political career and public perception amid these historic sexual assault allegations.
