Ex-radio host says Alan Jones had arm around man who alleges indecent assault

Former 2GB radio host Alan Jones is facing 22 counts of indecent assault and sexual touching against six men in a criminal trial. A colleague, Jason Morrison, testified in the NSW Local Court on Monday that he did not witness any inappropriate behaviour during a 2008 lunch where a junior colleague, Complainant C, accused Jones of touching his crotch and upper thigh under the dinner table.

Morrison, who has known Jones for over 25 years, described Complainant C's demeanor as not worrying him during the lunch. He added that while guests might have looked at the situation, there were no specific comments made regarding Jones's actions. Jones has pleaded not guilty to the charges, denying any instances of the alleged assaults.
