The court has heard so far from two of the six complainants who have accused Alan Jones of unwanted kissing and touching. Their allegations accounted for 17 of the 22 charges in the trial.

“M” is the third complainant to be called to give evidence. Two of the charges relate to his allegations. Jones denies any of the physical acts alleged by any of the complainants occurred.

The Crown has foreshadowed that the remaining complainants will give the following evidence:

  • Complainant “M”, a former athlete, is expected to say that Jones sent him fresh flowers each week for a year after he visited Jones’ apartment and made a comment about the floral arrangements. He alleges Jones hugged and kissed him on the corner of the mouth for a second or two at a public event when he was in his 30s.
  • “M” also alleges that he went to Jones’ apartment some years later and Jones pushed his body against his and kissed him from the cheek to the corner of his mouth. He is expected to say he recalls feeling Jones’ genitals pressed up against his upper inner thigh. Prosecutor Georgina Wright, SC, foreshadowed in her opening address to the court that “M” would give evidence that he pushed Jones back and said “OK mate” before leaving the apartment.
  • Complainant “F”, who was a 17-year-old working in media, is expected to allege that Jones squeezed his buttock through his clothing at a news event in Sydney. “F” is expected to say that he told his mother that Jones “grabbed my bum” but that he decided not to report it because he felt that nobody would believe his word over the broadcaster’s.
  • Complainant “A”, who was 17 at the time of the alleged offence, is expected to say that Jones put his tongue inside his mouth when he was visiting the broadcaster’s Fitzroy Falls property. Wright foreshadowed that “A” would say he froze and didn’t know what to do. He alleges that Jones also put his hand on his bottom. The mother of “A” is expected to give evidence that her son later wrote her a note that said something like “someone in power did something they should not have”.
  • Complainant “H”, who was aged in his early 30s, will allege Jones met him at a fundraising event in Sydney and used his hand to touch the top of his back, sliding slowly down his spine and resting his hand on the top of his bottom.
