A former liberal parliamentary member who is accused of sexual abuse of a 13-year-old boy has been fired for his new job that pours drinks into a trendy bar.
Roderick 'Rory' Amon, 35, spoke online for the first time with the boy before he was said to be in a parking lot on the northern beaches of Sydney in 2017.
The former Pittwater member was noted on Thursday in the Traders Bar in Haymarket in Sydney's CBD, one day after it was opened after a redevelopment of $ 20 million.
Dressed in a baseball cap and a white business shirt, Amon could have flyed under the radar while giving drinks for customers, if not for Sydneysiders with a realized eyes that informed center management.
On Friday evening, a spokesperson for Hay Street Market told the Daily Telegraph that it was 'informed of problems with an informal employee'.
“The employee in question stopped working with (the) company,” they said.
Earlier this week, Amon appeared in court to ask permission to move from the northern beaches to Potts Point, and claimed that her lawyer felt unsafe in the area after he was the target of online threats after his arrest last year.
The request was refused because his alleged victim lives in the area. Amon will be obliged to stay on his narra -bean address until his case has been through the courts.

Downing Center District Court heard that Amon was a 27-year-old municipal councilor when he met the boy on the dating website Squirt.org, but said he was 17.
The boy claimed that he told Amon that he was 15 when they exchanged explicit content on Snapchat before they agreed to meet each other personally.
When they met, Amon would have led the boy to a bathroom in a parking lot and closed the door.
“Have you ever done something like that?” He asked, according to the claims of the public prosecutor.
Prosecutors claim that when the 13-year-old replied that he had not done that, Amon said 'good' before kissing him and involves him in oral sex.
During a next second meeting in the same bathroom, Amon is accused of the repeated sexual abuse of the teenager.
The 13-year-old said that Amon continued to send him explicit images until he was accused of the alleged sexual abuse of children in August 2024.
Amon is waiting for the trial after he argued for not guilty of 10 charges, including five counts of sexual intercourse with a person over 10 years of age and younger than 14.
Amon's request to move to Potts Point was refused because the alleged victim works in the area
On Wednesday, the court was told that he arranged the Potts Point Lease in January, but his lawyers only informed that he would have to change his place of residence in February.
His lawyer Claire O'Neill accepted that the order of events was not ideal, but claimed that it was a result of Sydney's tight rental market.
She said that there is 'nothing bad' up to her client who wants to move houses to an area where the complainant does not work or lives.
Amon was looking for a new house because he is known in the northern beaches of Sydney and has difficulty living there, the court was told.
Public Prosecutors noted that the complainant works near Potts Point and often socializes in the area.
In a declaration to the court, the complainant wrote that allowing Amon to the area moving would be 'personal catastrophic' for him.
He expressed his concern about his safety as a result of Amon's behavior during years of investigation into his complaint.
Judge David Scully agreed that the risk was too high that Amon could come across the alleged victim and cause psychological need.
The former MP will lose several thousands of dollars by breaking his lease, the court was told.
He resigned from the NSW Liberal Party after the allegations became public against him.
