A controversial New South Wales MP could be charged with sexual violence as detectives ask prosecutors to review evidence against him.
Gareth Ward, 39, is under investigation by the NSW Police child abuse and sex crimes squad over alleged incidents in 2013 and 2015.
Mr Ward, the MP for Kiama on the NSW South Coast, has been under investigation for months but was not contacted by detectives until recently.
The legally blind albino politician denied any wrongdoing when the investigation was made public in May but later resigned as Families, Communities, and Disability Services Minister.
