Former NSW Liberal MP told alleged child sex victim he was 17, prosecutors claim

Roderick Amon, a former Liberal MP, is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy he met online in 2017, and he has pleaded not guilty to 10 charges, including five counts of sexual intercourse with a minor.
The court denied Amon's request to change his bail conditions due to the high risk of encountering the alleged victim, as noted by Judge David Scully.
Amon's lawyer claimed that the rental market caused him to sign a lease before seeking legal advice, acknowledging it was not an ideal situation.
The complainant expressed that allowing Amon to move nearby would be 'personally catastrophic' for him, according to a statement to the court.
