Episode Details

An elite athlete takes the stand in Sydney court, recounting two alleged unwanted kisses by veteran broadcaster Alan Jones — one in 2015, another in 2020 — while revealing he continued sending Jones friendly messages afterward due to Jones’s powerful public presence and past support. Despite the incidents, M described his polite behavior as a way to navigate a complex relationship with someone who had been both influential and generous. The trial, now in its seventh week, continues as Jones, 85, denies 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching.
