85岁的前广播员艾伦·琼斯在悉尼唐宁中心地方法院受审，被控20项猥亵侵犯罪和2项无同意性接触罪1。这些指控涉及6名男性受害人，犯罪时间跨度从2003年至2020年1。琼斯否认所有指控1。
前2GB电台同事雷·哈德利在法庭作证，称一名受害人在2019年向他倾诉遭琼斯性侵3。根据哈德利的证词，受害人声称琼斯曾在电梯和汽车中进行不当亲吻和触摸3。受害人向哈德利表示"他把手放在我的下体上亲吻我"，并"哭着说'不，我讨厌它。我不是同性恋'"3。哈德利与该受害人的对话持续了30至40分钟，对方多次哭泣崩溃2。
哈德利曾主动提议陪同受害人前往警方报案，但受害人因担心琼斯"太有权势"会毁掉他的职业生涯而拒绝3。2023年，《悉尼先驱晨报》记者凯特·麦克莱蒙特与受害人接触，以匿名形式发表了指控3。
琼斯的律师声称哈德利是出于职场竞争动机鼓励受害人作证3。法庭曾听证称，哈德利和琼斯在2019年竞争2GB电台的早间时段，哈德利已签署秘密合同替代琼斯2。
Former Australian broadcaster Alan Jones, 85 years old, is standing trial on charges spanning alleged sexual misconduct against six male victims over a 17-year period from 2003 to 2020.13 The charges include 20 counts of indecent assault and 2 counts of sexual touching without consent.1 Jones has denied all allegations.12
At Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court, Jones's former 2GB radio colleague Ray Hadley testified that one alleged victim broke down and sobbed while recounting incidents of assault.12 According to Hadley's account, the victim described that Jones had touched him inappropriately, including placing his hand on the victim's genitals while kissing him.3 Hadley stated the conversation lasted 30 to 40 minutes, during which the accuser cried multiple times.2 The victim allegedly told Hadley that Jones had engaged in inappropriate kissing and touching in locations including elevators and cars.3
Hadley testified that he offered to accompany the alleged victim to police, but the accuser refused, citing concerns that Jones was too powerful and would destroy his career.3 The victim eventually came forward to Sydney Morning Herald journalist Kate McClymont in 2023, with the allegations published under anonymity.3 Hadley had previously provided a statement to police in mid-2024.3
Jones's defense team has disputed Hadley's credibility, arguing that he had professional motives to damage the broadcaster's reputation.2 The defense alleged that Hadley and Jones were in competition for the 2GB early morning radio slot in 2019, with Hadley having signed a secret contract to replace Jones.2 Defense counsel also suggested that journalists, including McClymont and Peter FitzSimons, were driven by competitive interests in pursuing the story.2
