A former Labor party minister who served 11 years in prison for child sex crimes has been charged with 15 new offences. Milton Orkopoulos, who served in New South Wales parliament from 1999 to 2006, was arrested at Silverwater jail on Monday morning. Detectives from Lake Macquarie will allege Orkopoulos, 62, sexually assaulted two young boys who were known to him in the 1990s. Three other charges relate to forcing a child under 14 to participate in prostitution. In 2019, Orkopoulos walked free from prison on parole after spending 11 years behind bars for a string of charges relating to child abuse in 2008.
