FORMER NSW Government Minister Milton Orkopoulos used drugs to lure and trap boys into sexual relations with him, a court has heard.

Orkopoulos, 50, is standing trial in the Newcastle District Court on 34 child sex and drug charges for offences dating back to 1995.

The former Labor member for Swansea today pleaded guilty to one count of supplying cannabis and another of possessing child pornography but pleaded not guilty to a remaining 34 offences.

Crown Prosecutor Helen Wilson today told the court Orkopoulos met his first alleged victim through the Labor party in 1995 and won his trust by supplying him with alcohol, cannabis, and encouraging him to speak about his problems.

Orkopoulos then hooked the boy on heroin, supplying him with the drug, needles and syringes and teaching him how to inject, Ms Wilson said.

Two other victims, aged 16 or younger, were also plied with alcohol and drugs and assaulted or forced into sex during the following decade, she said.

"What I expect that the evidence will show is that the accused used drugs to lure and trap these boys ... into sexual relations with him,'' Ms Wilson told the court.

A student who was in Year 12 and doing a leadership course at Parliament House in 2005 said Orkopoulos gave him a joint and they smoked it in a courtyard near his office.

A fellow student who was with them at the time said he remembered the MP's words clearly.

"He said something like, 'this is where us politicians deal our drugs','' she said.

"He basically told me, 'just don't tell anyone'.''

They then went to lunch with Newcastle MP Bryce Gaudry, the student said.

The jury was told Mr Gaudry and fellow Labor party figures Jill Byrne and Jill Hall would give evidence at the four-week trial.

The former MP for Swansea today pleaded guilty to one count of supplying cannabis to two students attending a leadership summit at Parliament House in Sydney in June 2005.

Mr Orkopoulos also admitted possessing a pornographic short story about boys aged 16 and 12 having sex with an adult man, which was found under the mattress of a bed in his flat at Redfern in inner-Sydney during a police raid in November 2006

Boomers....completly agree, even though the other article was very bad, i strongly belive that anyone interering with minors should be shot. That said criminals in prison dont take kindly to rock spiders, perhaps killing him would be letting him off easy. he'll end up necking himself after a while anyway.
