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.
