Mother says son's 'mood was different' after time at Alan Jones's farm

The mother of the youngest alleged victim of broadcaster Alan Jones testified in a Sydney court that she "absolutely trusted" the radio host and believed her teenage son would be safe spending a weekend at Jones' property in Fitzroy Falls. Complainant A, who was 17 at the time, alleged that Jones allegedly kissed him, put his tongue in his mouth, and touched him on the bottom when he was alone at the property.

Despite the alleged incident, the mother said her son told her "he wasn't raped" and that the incident was "probably not a big thing." The mother continued to correspond with Jones about various issues, including repairs on her house, which Jones paid for to the tune of $100,000. She gave her first statement to police in May 2024 and found a scrawly note from her son ten days after he returned from his stay, in which he wrote a vague account of feeling violated during the incident.
