Police will allege that Jones touched the inner-thigh and rubbed the penis of a man in his direct employ, and kissed the lips and squeezed the buttocks of other men.

The incidents relate to nine men, including a former Olympian and a 17-year old. The incidents are alleged to have occurred at a variety of locations including jones’ former residence in inner-city Newtown, his Circular Quay apartment, and at a property at Fitzroy Falls in the New South Wales’ southern highlands.

The now 83-year-old broadcaster ruled Sydney’s airwaves for four decades before moving to a role at Sky News and later online broadcaster ADT.

Allegations about Jones being involved in decades of alleged inappropriate behaviour were first reported in the Nine newspapers. In December 2023 Jones denied there were any truth to the multiple allegations. Lawyers representing the broadcaster said allegations outlined in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald were not true and defamatory.

Jones was arrested by police in November.
