澳大利亚前电台主持人Alan Jones因涉嫌猥亵侵犯和性骚扰罪在悉尼地方法院受审[1]。控方指控Jones在2003年至2020年间对6名男性进行了性侵害或性骚扰，共提出22项指控[1]。其中，匿名证人"J"单独面对9项猥亵侵犯指控[1]。
在案件第五天的庭审中，现年40多岁的证人"J"在法庭作证时否认其控告动机涉及经济利益[1]。"J"表示自己在2000年代初担任高中12年级学生时开始遭受Jones的不当亲吻[1]。他向法庭明确表态："我不想起诉他。我不想要他的钱。"[1]庭审记录显示，Jones曾在经济上对"J"予以支持，包括每周支付数百美元用于其训练、赠送汽车和手机[1]。"J"表示自己是在看到2024年11月关于Jones被捕的媒体报道后才向警方举报的[1]。
Jones对所有指控予以否认[1]。其律师Gabrielle Bashir, SC在法庭上表示，"对立、背叛、欺骗、金钱、仇恨、绝望、机会主义等都是这个案件的核心"[1]。案件在悉尼Downing Centre法院中心的新南威尔士地方法院进行审理[1]。
Former Australian radio broadcaster Alan Jones is facing trial in Sydney's District Court on charges of indecent assault and sexual touching involving six men, with 22 counts in total.[1] During the fifth day of proceedings, an anonymous witness referred to as "J," now in his early 40s, testified that he has no financial motive in bringing allegations against Jones, stating in court: "I don't want to prosecute him. I don't want his money."[1]
The alleged offences span from 2003 to 2020.[1] Witness "J" claimed that inappropriate conduct began during his final year of high school in the early 2000s, when he was a teenager.[1] Jones previously provided financial support to the witness, including weekly payments of hundreds of dollars toward his training, as well as a vehicle and mobile phone.[1] The witness reported the allegations to police after seeing media coverage of Jones's arrest in November 2024.[1] Jones's legal representative, Gabrielle Bashir, SC, suggested the case involves themes of "conflict, betrayal, deception, money, hatred, desperation and opportunism."[1] Jones denies all charges.[1] The trial is being held at Downing Centre in Sydney's District Court.[1]
