Former NSW State MP Milton Orkopoulos has been arrested on more alleged child sex and drug offences.
The former Aboriginal Affairs minister was charged this morning after officers met him at his Hamilton home in Newcastle.
The 21 charges cover supply of prohibited drug, ho mosexual intercourse with child aged 10-18 and indecent assault involving alleged incidents in 1995 and 1996, bringing total charges to 54.
He was refused bail and will appear in Newcastle Local Court at 2pm this afternoon.
The former Member for Swansea was admitted to hospital last November after he was found slumped in his car following a suspected suicide attempt.
The father-of-three was taken to Mater Hospital, where he is believed to have been treated for a drug overdose.
Orkopoulos was elected to the seat of Swansea in 1999 and started serving as Aboriginal Affairs minister in 2005.
He previously worked as a trainee nurse, a steelworker, a storeman and a waiter.
His official biography says he was president of the Eastlakes Family Support Service, a member of the Regional Council of Scouts Australia and a patron of two local schools.
