Alleged victim of Alan Jones made broadcaster soft-boiled eggs with soldiers and ironed his underpants, court told

The alleged victim of former radio broadcaster Alan Jones has testified in a Sydney court that he was required to perform various tasks for Jones, including making his breakfast, cleaning his bathroom, and ironing his underpants, during his time as Jones's driver in the mid-2000s. The complainant, who aspired to be a producer, described himself as "star-struck" when Jones offered him a $40,000 annual salary for the position, which he considered a dream job. Jones, 85, now faces 22 indecent assault and sexual touching charges, and has pleaded not guilty.
