| Australian MP Accused of Drugging Boys for Sex |
Former Australian MP Milton Orkopoulos, who faces allegations that he used drugs to lure teenage boys into having sex with him, pleaded not guilty to 34 child sex and drugs charges on Wednesday. A jury has been read a 19-page pornographic short story, detailing sex acts between a man and two boys, that was discovered under Orkopoulos' mattress in his inner-Sydney apartment, The Age reports. Prosecutor Helen Wilson told the jury they would hear from all three of Orkopoulos' victims during the four-week trial. "(He had) a secret part of his life, a hidden part of his life that involved the use of drugs ... the supply of drugs to other people - and on the evidence people under 18 - and the use of drugs as a lure, effectively, for sex with boys under the age of 18," Wilson said. The boys, who are now in their 20s, would give evidence about their encounters with the former minister when they were aged 15 or 16, the court heard. Wilson said Orkopoulos introduced one boy to heroin, gave him injecting equipment and instructed him how to shoot up. Orkopoulos had sex with the boy on numerous occasions, once while he lay "crying" in the back seat of a car, she said. Last update: 02-21-2008 16:42
