Shocking allegations against a former shock jock
A big investigation is splashed all over the front pages of the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age this morning… Former Sydney radio host Alan Jones has been accused of assaulting several men. The accounts come from a former employee of broadcaster 2GB and others, including a waiter, businessman and singer – each say Jones touched them without consent. The accounts published this morning are detailed, and the men talk about their fear of making an official complaint to police because of Jones’s fame and power. One of the men said at the time it happened to him, Jones was “more powerful than the prime minister. He could pick up the phone to John Howard and demand for things to be done.’’ For his part, Jones’s lawyer said he denied the claims and that the suggestion he was involved in any alleged assaults was “scandalous, grossly offensive, and seriously defamatory of him.’’
