Former MP Milton Orkopoulos has been found guilty of sexually abusing four boys during his time as a local councillor and state MP.
The 65-year-old former Member for Swansea was facing 28 charges, including eight counts of supplying a prohibited drug, eight counts of indecent assault, and 11 counts of sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 16.
The offences relate to four boys, and took place in the Lake Macquarie area and on the Mid North Coast, between 1993 and 2003.
Orkopoulos had pleaded not guilty to all charges in Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court.
The jury rejected his evidence on all but two charges.
On Wednesday, Orkopoulos was found guilty of 26 child sex and drug offences.
The judge said she would decided on a sentencing date for Orkopoulos at a later date.
