A former ALP official standing trial in the Sydney District Court has been cleared of 12 child prostitution charges?
Judge Megan Latham has ruled there was no evidence that Neville Hilton "made" two teenage girls prostitute themselves at a Port Kembla brothel.
Even though he was old enough to know better he did not exploit them? Shocking result folks one more rope around Bob Carr's neck in the fascist NSW disparity State!
Hilton has also been cleared of another charge of controlling the premises used for child prostitution on August 19 last year?
The 65-year-old pleaded not guilty to 31 child prostitution charges when his trial began last week.
The trial continues today on the remaining 19 charges, which include obtaining benefit from child prostitution and controlling premises used for child prostitution between July and August last year.

THE DOG: What does it take for a COURT to convict the owner of a doss house RUNNING CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 12 AND 13 AS PROSTITUTES? LIKE HE KNEW NO BETTER! THE ONLY WAY HE COULD GET THAT VERDICT IS IF HE WAS A former MEMBER OF THE ALP! OR A BULLDOGS RUGBY LEAGUE PLAYER.
