‘Get real’: Complainant’s emotional outburst during Alan Jones trial

Complainant 'C' has told a Sydney court that his text messages to Alan Jones, the then-2GB host, were "consistent with someone who had been groomed … on the way to talk to him". According to Complainant C, he was allegedly groomed by Jones for a decade, starting when he was a young driver for the broadcaster.

Complainant C has alleged that Jones indecently assaulted him on multiple occasions, including touching his penis and kissing him without consent. These alleged incidents occurred when Complainant C was in his early 20s and working with Jones in 2008.

Complainant C has also alleged that another colleague witnessed one of the incidents, in which Jones allegedly groped his penis on the outside of his pants during a lunch in Mosman. Jones has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges related to six male complainants, including 20 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching.
