Alan Jones sexual misconduct trial continues

Overview

The judge-only trial of former broadcaster and ex-Wallabies coach Alan Jones, 85, continues at Sydney’s Downing Centre courts. Jones has pleaded not guilty to charges of indecent assault and sexual touching alleged to have occurred between 2003 and 2023 against several men.

Testimony has included accounts from complainant “C”, who alleged Jones touched him inappropriately in a car, an elevator, and a restaurant. Journalist Peter FitzSimons testified that “C” was “completely emotionally traumatised” and “revolted” by the alleged behavior. Former 2GB host Jason Morrison testified that he did not witness Jones touching “C” under a table during a lunch nearly 20 years ago, despite noting there was “banter” among guests.

Radio broadcaster Ray Hadley testified regarding the impact of the alleged misconduct and admitted to sending text messages to a complainant stating that Jones “needs to be destroyed.”

A prominent athlete, referred to as Complainant “M”, testified in person, stating Jones allegedly kissed him on the mouth at a sporting event in 2015—an incident he “can’t get it out of my memory”—and subjected him to unwanted physical contact at Jones’ Circular Quay apartment.

During the eighth week, an executive identified as H testified that Jones slid his hand down his spine to rest on his bottom. The fifth complainant, “A”, testified regarding alleged incidents occurring when he was 17 at a property in Fitzroy Falls. While defense counsel questioned whether “A” intended to extract financial assistance from Jones, “A” maintained he felt “violated” and “gross” following the alleged assault.
