Gordon Ramsay.

Former ACT attorney-general Gordon Ramsay has been charged with seven more offences relating to child-abuse material and alleged sexual offending against a teenage boy.

The 61-year-old former Labor politician was first charged in October after police alleged he groomed a teenage boy he had been mentoring between 2022 and 2024.

Police say further investigations have resulted in seven new charges involving the same alleged victim.

The additional charges include three counts of using a carriage service for child-abuse material, two counts of an act of indecency with a young person under special care, using a carriage service to offend, and possessing child-abuse material.

Mr Ramsay, who served as an MLA between 2016 and 2020 and is the former chief executive of the Cultural Facilities Corporation, was charged during a mention in the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
