NSW Prosecutors Set Retrial for Ex-MP Rory Amon on Two Child Sex Counts

A new trial will test the two charges a jury could not decide in March.

Overview

  • Rory Amon appeared in the NSW Supreme Court and pleaded not guilty to sexual intercourse without consent and indecent assault.
  • The Director of Public Prosecutions will run a retrial on the two hung counts, listed for a two-week hearing in November 2026.
  • A jury in the March 2026 trial acquitted Amon of eight charges but could not reach verdicts on the remaining two.
  • The charges relate to allegations involving a 13-year-old boy in Mona Vale on Sydney’s northern beaches in July 2017.
  • Amon resigned his Pittwater seat hours after being charged in August 2024 and is a former Northern Beaches councillor who succeeded Rob Stokes in 2023.
