Disgraced Former Swansea MP Milton Orkopolous Found Guilty of Sexual Assault and Drug Supply

BY OLIVIA DILLON

Disgraced former Swansea MP Milton Orkopoulos has been found guilty of 26 more child sexual assault and drug offences, almost 15 years after his last sentence was handed-down. 

After a five week trial in Sydney's Downing Street District Court, a jury has found him guilty of 11 counts of sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 16, and multiple counts of indecent assault and supplying cannabis.

Mr Orkolplous had pleaded not guilty to all charges, and was acquitted of only two. 

It's believed after spending almost 15 years behind bars, Mr Orkopolous is facing at least another decade in goal.
