Accuser says Alan Jones touched his bottom
Complainant H said Jones slid a hand down his back and onto his bottom during a function attended by about 15 to 20 people.
- On Tuesday, Complainant H testified at the Downing Centre Local Court that former broadcaster Alan Jones touched his bottom at a Sydney event several years ago attended by about 15 to 20 people.
- Jones, 85, is standing trial on 19 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching relating to five male complainants over 17 years from 2003 to 2020; the former broadcaster has denied all charges.
- Complainant H said Jones "placed his hand on the top of my back and went slowly down my back and then rested it on my bottom," later confiding in his boss that he felt "disgusting and powerless."
- The executive contacted Sydney Morning Herald journalist Kate McClymont after reading her 2023 report; although he did not initially authorize publication, he later allowed McClymont to provide his details to police for a 2024 statement.
- Prosecutors dropped one count of indecent assault on Monday, meaning complainant F will no longer be part of the trial as Jones faces the remaining charges at the Downing Centre Local Court.
