Lawyer says 'beef' behind alleged victim's complaint against Alan Jones
Alan Jones's defence lawyers have accused one of the veteran broadcaster's alleged assault victims of confiding in two men who "hated" Mr Jones as part of a workplace "beef" at commercial radio station 2GB.
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.
