The Alan Jones trial continues in Sydney as the alleged victim's brother testified about disclosures of indecent assault involving the broadcaster. The court heard that the complainant, known as J, described the assaults as not 'too bad' but detailed inappropriate touching.
Brother's Testimony in Alan Jones Trial
On Tuesday, the trial prosecutor Georgina Wright asked the witness to recount what his younger brother told him during a meeting at a McDonald's. The brother, the first of more than 70 witnesses other than alleged victims, said J described the incidents as involving Jones grabbing his penis and kissing him.

J reportedly told his brother, "Nothing too bad, he didn't try to fuck me or anything like that. He would grab me on the cock, he would kiss me, those sort of things." The brother also testified that J said Jones would ask if it was OK, and when J expressed discomfort, Jones would change the subject and become "a different person."
Key Details from the Court Hearing
The brother explained that J did not disclose the abuse earlier because he didn't want to lose the financial support and other benefits he received from Jones. The court also heard that J reported the assaults to police in 2024 after Jones was arrested, wanting his child to know "right from wrong."
Jones has pleaded not guilty to 20 charges of indecent assault and two of sexual touching against six complainants. The trial is ongoing, with more witnesses expected to testify.
