Alan Jones Faces 35th Indecent Assault Charge as Legal Team Alleges Media Bias

The former broadcaster's lawyers question police and media interactions while preparing his defense against mounting allegations.

Alan Jones, 83, has been charged with a 35th count of indecent assault, involving an alleged 2013 incident in Tamworth, NSW.
Jones' legal team has formally entered not-guilty pleas to all charges, which include allegations of sexual touching and indecent assault involving 11 complainants between 2001 and 2019.
Defense lawyer Bryan Wrench has raised concerns about potential leaks between NSW Police and journalists, citing rapid media coverage following charges.
Investigative journalist Kate McClymont, who initially reported on the allegations, has been named as a potential witness in the case, prompting defense claims of an 'anti-Jones crusade.'
The case has been adjourned until May 13, with further evidence, including a download of Jones' phone, yet to be served by prosecutors.
