Six Athletes Accuse Alan Jones of Assault | Australia News

Six former athletes have come forward with explosive allegations against veteran broadcaster Alan Jones, accusing him of indecent assault and sexual touching over nearly two decades — from 2003 to 2020 — across Sydney and the NSW Southern Highlands. Now 85, Jones has pleaded not guilty to all 22 charges. One athlete, who testified in his late teens, described non-consensual kisses and contact, while his brother revealed he only learned of the abuse after Jones’s arrest — and that the athlete had kept silent for years fearing loss of financial support provided by Jones, including a phone, car, and $600 weekly stipend. The athlete also admitted lying to his mother, fearing disbelief and pressure to speak out. Despite inconsistencies under cross-examination, he insists he’s doing his best to recall events from decades ago. Jones, who once ruled Sydney’s airwaves, is taking meticulous notes as the court continues this high-stakes, emotionally charged trial.
