Recent charges laid against former Member for Pittwater, Rory Amon, have triggered a by-election for the state seat of Pittwater.
Amon was charged on the 30th of August 2024 with ten counts of child sex offences. These included five counts of sexual intercourse with a person aged over 10 and under 14, two counts of attempted sexual intercourse with a child over 10 and under 14, two counts of indecent assault on a person under 16, and committing an act of indecency with a person under 16.
The alleged crimes took place in Mona Vale, 2017, with a 13-year-old boy. Soon after Amon’s arrest, he resigned from the Liberal Party.
Rory Amon is to appear at Manly Local Court at the end of October.
