Alan Jones Trial Begins Over Sexual Assault Allegations
Alan Jones, a famous radio host in Australia, is on trial for hurting six men over many years.
He says he did nothing wrong.
The court will hear from more than 70 people, and the judge will decide if he is guilty.
The trial will last several weeks and the media can report what the witnesses say.
The case started after a newspaper reported the accusations.
Former Australian radio host Alan Jones faces 22 sexual assault charges spanning 2003‑2020.
The charges involve six men, one of whom was 17 at the time of the alleged offence.
Jones pleaded not guilty and denies all allegations.
The trial is judge‑only, expected to last several weeks, with over 70 witnesses.
