Title: Gareth Ward found guilty of rape
Post by greggerypeccary on Jul 27th, 2025 at 9:20am

Australian politician Gareth Ward found guilty of rape

A New South Wales (NSW) politician has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two young men in Australia.

A jury found Gareth Ward - who is still a sitting member of state parliament - guilty of three counts of indecent assault and one count of rape.

Both of the victims, who were aged 18 and 24, said they were assaulted at Ward's home after meeting the 44-year-old through political circles between 2013 and 2015.

Ward resigned as a state government minister and from the Liberal Party when the accusations emerged in 2021, but refused to leave parliament and was re-elected as the member for Kiama in 2023.

Indeed.

I'm waiting to see who'll be the first to defend him.

Ah.

I see what you did there   ;)

Bringing up a story from almost two years ago in order to distract attention away from a story from just two days ago.

Both horrible criminals, but only one is a current event.

I beg your pardon - your article

So this is an historic rape - with accusations made in 2021 & the process taking up until now for a result.

My article was from November 2023 - He was sentenced 20 months ago.

Not very long ago ey? ::)

So my response was to Smiths asinine statement

and your response being -

I'm not defending these pair of bastards from both sides of politics.....

I'm simply pointing out your hypocrisy.

Must be a tough guy, raping adult males, or did he get them under the influence of booze or drugs first?

Maybe you should read the articles more thoroughly.

They were youths.

The bloke I posted about was doing it to much younger boys. And he used drugs & booze.

nothing asinine about my statement. It's factual.

If it made you feel guilty in any way then you need to reflect on your own decisions.

It's nowhere near factual.

The post I made proved that .

Tell me does this bloke vote right or left?

I'd say heavy left.  ;D
