Former Liberal MP Rory Amon spends night in jail after forgetting to report to police

Rory Amon, a former Pittwater MP from the NSW Liberal Party, was taken into custody at Sydney’s Day Street police station around 10pm on Wednesday for an alleged breach of his bail conditions.
He stepped down from parliament in August shortly after being charged with sexual offences involving a 13-year-old boy in the Mona Vale area dating back to 2017.
The charges include five counts of sexual intercourse and two counts of indecent assault against a child aged 10 to 14, linked to encounters in an underground carpark bathroom.
Mr Amon pleaded not guilty in March and faces a 10-day trial in February 2026 in the NSW District Court; police refused bail after the recent arrest.
The arrest and bail refusal emphasize legal consequences for breaching imposed conditions and maintain trial preparations for serious child sex offence charges.
