A former athlete has revealed he was scared he would lose everything if he reported being indecently assaulted by veteran broadcaster Alan Jones, “one of the most powerful men in the country”. The former talkback host also paid the athlete a weekly allowance of up to $400 to allow him to focus on sport, which increased to $600 after Jones allegedly indecently assaulted him. I’m going to give you some more money,” he claims Jones told him afterwards. A witness is expected to say he saw the man’s uncomfortable face as Jones allegedly touched him under the table in a separate alleged incident. He has repeatedly denied the allegations against him, declaring that he “never indecently assaulted these people” in December 2024.
