Alan Jones, an 85-year-old former prominent Australian radio broadcaster, faced trial in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court beginning Monday on 22 charges including 20 counts of indecent assault and 2 counts of sexual touching.[1] The allegations involve six victims and span incidents occurring between 2003 and 2020.[1] Judge Glenn Walsh is presiding over the proceedings.[1]
The trial is expected to run for approximately four months, during which the court will hear testimony from 76 witnesses.[1] Among the alleged victims, the youngest was 17 years old at the time of the incidents in question.[1] Jones has denied all charges, previously stating in December 2024 that he had "never indecently assaulted these people" and asserting that "the law presumes me innocent, and I am innocent."[1] Indecent assault carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.[1]
