Gareth Ward: Australia state MP charged with s*xual abuse

A former minister in Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) state government has been charged with s*xually abusing a man and a teenage boy. Gareth Ward, who is now an independent MP, is accused of committing the offenses in 2013 and 2015. Mr. Ward, who is 40 years old, denies the claims.

On Tuesday, he stated, “I will be asking my lawyers to seek to put this case before the courts as soon as possible, and I look forward to showing my innocence there.”

Mr. Ward has been charged with a total of five counts. One offense of s*xual intercourse without consent carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. “Police will claim in court that the man s*xually molested a 27-year-old male in Sydney in September 2015 and indecently attacked a 17-year-old boy in February 2013 at [NSW suburb] Meroo Meadow,” NSW Police said in a statement.

Mr. Ward resigned as minister for families, communities, and disability services after revealing he was being investigated by police last year. He also left the Liberal Party, which was in power at the time.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said on Tuesday that if Mr. Ward did not quit, he would file a motion to remove him from parliament.

Mr. Ward should be assumed innocent, but his continued membership in Parliament was “incompatible with the nature of the charges,” according to the premier.

In May, Mr. Ward is scheduled to appear in court.
