MLC Bernard Finnigan has quit politics, effective immediately, after being found guilty of a child pornography charge.
Finnigan issued a public statement through his lawyers saying he had given “careful consideration to the views expressed by my colleagues, family and friends”.
“In addition, I am conscious of the need to protect the integrity of the judicial process, which has not yet concluded, and the dignity of the Parliament,” Mr Finnigan said.
Finnigan has been under pressure from South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill to quit politics after being found guilty this week by the District Court of obtaining access to child pornography.
