Accuser wishes alleged Jones kiss 'never happened'

A sportsman testified in Sydney court that he cannot erase the memories of unwanted kisses and sexual touching by radio host Alan Jones, whom he wishes had never happened. The athlete faced Jones in court for a third day, recounting an incident where he was kissed without consent at a sports event attended by a large crowd. During cross-examination, the athlete admitted discrepancies between his initial police statements and court evidence, with Jones' barrister noting he had not previously mentioned freezing or kissing the accused's lips.

The athlete confirmed he had pointed towards his lips when making the statement, but this gesture was not recorded by police officers. When questioned about their positions at the event, the athlete suggested the kiss may not have occurred, emphasizing he cannot forget the memory. After the function, Jones sent the athlete a text message saying "You looked great.

I love you, I hope you can feel my kisses darling." The athlete expressed that he wanted the kiss to never have happened and to return to normal. While prosecutors rely on Jones' post-function text as evidence of a kiss, defense barrister Gabrielle Bashir suggested such gestures were common between them. The athlete denied a second alleged incident where Jones allegedly pressed his genitals against him at Jones' Circular Quay apartment years later.

However, a photo was reportedly taken at Jones' house in the NSW Southern Highlands on the day the athlete believes the alleged misconduct occurred. The athlete maintains his belief that a path of kisses from his cheek to the corner of his mouth occurred, contradicting suggestions the kissing did not happen. Jones has faced 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching without consent, all denied by him.
