Overview
- Amon has pleaded not guilty to 10 charges over alleged encounters in 2017, including five counts of sexual intercourse with a child aged 10 to 14.
- He testified he believed the complainant was 17, accepted that sexual activity occurred during one meeting, and denied a second encounter took place.
- Under cross-examination, he rejected suggestions it would have been obvious the boy was under 16 and denied tailoring his account.
- In closing submissions, the Crown argued Amon used a fake name and a separate phone for Grindr and Snapchat to manipulate the complainant and bolster his credibility claim.
- Jurors were shown photos, app messages, and travel and financial records; the defence is scheduled to deliver its closing address next, with the trial to continue before the NSW Supreme Court jury.
