Alan Jones’s ‘yelling stopped’ when his ‘sexual behaviour’ began, alleged victim tells court

Complainant C, a former colleague of Alan Jones, has denied allegations that his complaint against the broadcaster was a prearranged move to remove Jones from his breakfast show. In the criminal trial, Complainant C alleged that Jones had indecently assaulted him on multiple occasions, including kissing and touching him. However, his defence lawyers have accused Complainant C of confiding in two men who disliked Jones, suggesting a workplace beef.

Complainant C maintains that he never agreed to have his allegations published, and that the matter is unrelated to Jones receiving his breakfast show back.
