Brierley faces new charges for possessing child abuse material

Ron Brierly news

Disgraced New Zealand businessman Ron Brierley, 87, has been hit with three fresh charges of possessing child abuse material following a court appearance in Sydney.

Arrested yesterday morning, Brierley was granted bail under strict conditions, including staying at his Sydney waterfront home and being banned from possessing internet-enabled devices.

The new charges come after his 2019 arrest at Sydney Airport, where authorities found over 11,000 illegal images on his devices.

In 2021, he pleaded guilty to similar offenses, serving four months in prison before being released due to health issues. Following his conviction, he was stripped of his knighthood.

  1. Hopefully this is the beginning of the exposure of these unwell people and their disgusting habits to the public. There are many, who is involved will be a shock and how they have used manipulation tactics is heartbreaking. I sincerely hope this signals an end to these crimes for these criminals many whom were/are held in high regard

  2. Maybe he didn’t pay his dues over at the Masonic Lodge, or failed to donate to the Liberal Party…!

  3. In the 1990’s after the 1987 Share crash, Brierley’s company was boyant, and a lot of Kiwis held his shares. At that time a Police officer told me that their was rumours around that Brierley “liked little boys and girls”. I said why wasn’t something being done about it – his reply was to the affect that if he went down the company would crash and people would lose money – as he was the one that shareholders supported., beside he was to Rich and powerful to touch as he had the most powerful Lawyers in N.Z. who would run to his defense. I know a number of Police in Christchurch at the time invested heavily in Brierleys shares. I recall that I often wondered why despite his wealth he wasn’t surround by beautiful woman or on the other hand had a Gay partner. (Think of any other very rich person in the news). This all added up to the Police Officers narrative. Now Im not saying that the Police ignored any information about him. At that time he was just too big and powerful to touch. Remember Jimmy Savile in the U.K.? There are many other examples of people being to rich and powerful to touch – until a few years later! – e.g. Epstein?
