澳大利亚前广播员Alan Jones因涉嫌对6名男性进行猥亵侵犯和性骚扰面临22项指控[1]。在悉尼Downing Centre法院进行的审判第三天，控方证人"J"继续作证，其中包括Jones律师Gabrielle Bashir进行的交叉询问[1]。
证人"J"称Jones在其十几岁时曾对其进行不当身体接触[1]。具体而言，证人表示Jones在其年仅18岁时开始有不当行为，包括不要求的亲吻[1]。控方共提出针对证人"J"的9项指控[1]。证人还表示在2024年11月看到有关Jones被捕的报道后向警方报案[1]。
控方指控涉及的时间跨度为2003年至2020年[1]。Jones的律师在开庭陈词中称"竞争、背叛、金钱、仇恨、绝望和机会主义是本案核心"[1]。Jones对所有指控表示坚决否认[1]。
Former Australian broadcaster Alan Jones is facing 22 charges related to alleged indecent assault and sexual harassment involving six men, with the trial now in its third day at Downing Centre Local Court in Sydney [1]. Nine of these charges specifically relate to prosecution witness "J," who continued giving evidence as cross-examination proceeded [1].
Witness "J" testified that Jones engaged in unwanted physical contact beginning when the witness was 18 years old, including unsolicited kissing [1]. The witness reported the allegations to police following media coverage of Jones's arrest in November 2024 [1]. During cross-examination, Jones's lawyer Gabrielle Bashir questioned the witness's credibility, framing the case in opening submissions as being fundamentally driven by "competition, betrayal, money, hatred, desperation and opportunism" [1].
Jones has categorically denied all charges against him [1]. The prosecution alleges the offences occurred between 2003 and 2020 [1].
