Convicted Ex-MP Gareth Ward Lists South Coast Home for Sale

Sentencing is scheduled for September 19.

Overview

  • Ward has placed his Meroo Meadow property near Nowra on the market without a published price guide.
  • He remains on remand at the Hunter Correctional Centre ahead of sentencing next month.
  • A jury on July 25 found him guilty of three counts of indecent assault and one count of intercourse without consent over incidents in 2013 and 2015.
  • He resigned from the NSW Parliament shortly before an expulsion motion, with a Kiama by-election set for September 13.
  • He has indicated he will appeal the verdict, and separate reporting says two Sydney apartments he owns are still listed on Airbnb and could yield up to $4000 a week.
