澳洲知名广播员艾伦·琼斯因20项猥亵罪名和2项性骚扰罪名受审,涉及6名男性受害人。1在悉尼唐宁中心地方法院的庭审中,琼斯的一名亲密朋友兼证人作证时承认曾向琼斯发送短信表示忠诚支持,其中称"如果你需要我驳斥任何谎言,我当然会",并赞誉琼斯是"有史以来最伟大的广播员"。1
这名证人在法庭上否认目睹琼斯在2008年莫斯曼餐厅午餐中的不当行为。1据指控,琼斯在整个午餐期间将左手放在被称为"申请人C"的受害人桌下。1检控官乔治娜·赖特指责该证人的证词偏袒琼斯,并表示其他证人曾称这名证人对琼斯骚扰受害人C的行为冷笑和开玩笑。1此外,这名证人还在法庭上将参与报道此案的记者凯特·麦克克莱蒙特贬低为"邪恶的"和"低贱的"。1案件由格伦·沃尔什法官主持。1
A close friend and witness testifying in the case against prominent Australian broadcaster Alan Jones has admitted to sending supportive text messages to him during court proceedings at Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney.1 The witness told Jones he was "the greatest broadcaster ever" and stated he would "of course" refute any lies about him if needed.1
During cross-examination, the witness denied observing inappropriate conduct by Jones during a 2008 lunch at a Mosman restaurant involving a man identified in court as "Applicant C," who alleges Jones placed his left hand under the table throughout the meal.1 However, prosecutor Georgina Wright contended the witness's testimony was biased toward Jones.1 Other witnesses have reportedly described the witness as smirking and joking about Jones's alleged harassment of Applicant C.1 The witness also labeled journalist Kate McClymont from the Sydney Morning Herald as "evil" and used disparaging language to describe her.1
Jones faces 20 indecent assault charges and two sexual harassment charges involving six male complainants.1 The trial is being heard before Judge Glenn Walsh.1
