Alan Jones Charged with 24 Sex Offences

Veteran Australian broadcaster Alan Jones, 83, has been charged with 24 offences related to alleged sexual crimes spanning from 2001 to 2019. The charges include 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault against individuals who were in his employ, as well as other counts of indecent assault and common assault. Jones was arrested by New South Wales police following a lengthy investigation, which culminated in a search of his luxury apartment in Sydney. The youngest alleged victim at the time of the incidents was 17 years old. Despite previously denying all allegations, Jones now faces a court appearance scheduled for December 18, 2024, and police believe more victims may come forward. The investigation is ongoing, as authorities encourage other potential victims to step forward and report their experiences.
