澳大利亚前广播电视主持人Alan Jones的性侵犯案件审判在周三遭中断[1]。检控方在上午向被告团队致函，表示需要修正部分案情陈述，法官Glenn Walsh随后将听证会延至下午2点，以进行法律辩论[1]。
Jones因22项非法猥亵罪和2项未经同意的性接触罪受审，共6名男性指控他在2003年至2020年间进行不当接吻和触摸[1]。其中一名举报人"J"称Jones在20年前曾对其有不当行为，其前女友在法庭作证时表示当时"J"看起来"见鬼了"的样子[1]。"J"在2024年Jones被捕后表示想"出面说出真相"[1]。另一举报人"C"指控Jones在驾车回家时触摸其生殖器，并在公寓电梯内亲吻其嘴唇[1]。Jones对所有指控予以坚决否认[1]。
The trial of former Australian broadcaster Alan Jones has been temporarily halted after prosecutors unexpectedly raised a legal matter in court.[1] On Wednesday morning, the prosecution contacted the defense team indicating a desire to modify portions of their case statement.[1] Judge Glenn Walsh adjourned proceedings until 2 p.m. to allow time for legal argument on the matter.[1]
Jones faces 22 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault without consent, with allegations stemming from six male complainants spanning from 2003 to 2020.[1] One complainant, identified as 'J', alleges inappropriate conduct occurred approximately 20 years ago, with his former partner previously testifying that he appeared severely distressed at the time.[1] Following Jones's arrest in 2024, the complainant stated he wanted to come forward to tell his story.[1] Another complainant, 'C', has alleged that Jones touched his genitals while driving him home and kissed him on the lips in an apartment elevator.[1] Jones has categorically denied all charges against him.[1]
