A witness told a Sydney court that during a luncheon hosted by veteran radio host Alan Jones, the alleged victim, known as complainant C, observed Jones with his hand under the table while holding a wine glass with his other hand. The witness noted that C appeared "very upset" and "distraught" during the luncheon. Jones has been charged with 20 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching against six complainants.
At the time of the luncheon, the witness observed Jones spinning his wine in a glass with his right hand while his left hand remained under the table. Upon leaving the restaurant, the witness and other guests noticed that Jones and the alleged victim were making light of the situation, with one guest joking about Jones being "interested in young men."
The alleged victim reportedly felt "deeply embarrassed" when he realized that a fellow guest was observing the incident. The trial, presided over by Judge Glenn Walsh, is ongoing.
