Court hears Alan Jones was 'generous' to man alleging indecent assault
A former radio colleague of Alan Jones has admitted joking about the veteran broadcaster being generous and giving attention to a younger colleague at a Christmas lunch, but has denied seeing an indecent assault.
Former 2GB radio host Alan Jones has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching against six men. One of Jones' former colleagues, Jason Morrison, testified in the criminal trial. Morrison admitted joking about Jones being generous at a 2008 Christmas lunch, but denied seeing any indecent assault. The prosecution raised concerns that Morrison might be omitting critical evidence, specifically a Christmas lunch incident where Complainant C alleged Jones rested his hand on his crotch for most of the meal.
Morrison denied both romantic and sexual intentions behind his actions, but acknowledged making a joke about Jones' generosity. The judge granted the prosecution's request to cross-examine Morrison and will provide his reasons later.
