Alan Jones sex assault trial begins with explosive allegations
Radio broadcaster Alan Jones, 85, faces 22 charges of sexual assault involving six alleged victims over a 17-year period. The prosecution detailed allegations including inappropriate touching, kissing and text messages to young men, some of whom were invited to Jones' Sydney apartment and Fitzroy Falls farm. The defence claims the case is driven by rivalry and treachery, specifically naming Jones' radio rival Ray Hadley and author Peter FitzSimons as being involved in pushing the charges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
