Ray Hadley testifies about Alan Jones accuser's emotional disclosure in court

Former radio broadcaster Ray Hadley provided emotional testimony in a Sydney court on Tuesday, recounting how an alleged victim of Alan Jones broke down in tears while disclosing unwanted sexual advances by the veteran broadcaster. The evidence came during the criminal trial of Jones, 85, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of indecent assault and sexual touching. Hadley, a longtime colleague of Jones at radio station 2GB, told the Downing Centre Local Court that he was confided in by a man known as Complainant C in October 2019. The complainant alleged that Jones had repeatedly kissed him and touched his genitals without consent. Hadley testified that the man told him, "He put his hand on my c*** and kissed me," and described incidents occurring in lifts at the 2GB studios, in Jones's car, and at his home. "He broke down and cried and said, 'No, I hated it. I'm not homosexual,'" Hadley told the court. He said the complainant expressed feeling embarrassed and ashamed, and feared coming forward because "Mr Jones was too powerful" and it would ruin his career.
