(ABC News: Jamie McKinnell)Mr Jones's barristers have pushed Complainant J on why he did not stop the alleged behaviour at any point, and why he followed the alleged instruction to wear a robe when he said Mr Jones had assaulted him several times already that day."You must have understood that this was some kind of suggestion of getting ready for sexual activity?" Ms Bashir said."Yes," Complainant J replied."You could have put your pants back on," Ms Bashir said."I could have," Complainant J replied.Complainant J told the court he "very fearfully" put his robe on but also put on underwear as "protection," and went back out to sit on the lounge with Mr Jones.Ms Bashir suggested multiple times to Complainant J during cross-examination that he had "concocted" or "fabricated" his story after reading media reports with similar allegations.'I didn't like when he was disappointed in me'Complainant J previously said he received weekly payments from the broadcaster to help with his sporting career, and that he was grateful for the money and did not want it to stop."[Mr Jones] never said he'd pull the money if you didn't do what he wanted, did he?" Ms Bashir asked."No, but I didn't like when he was disappointed in me," Complainant J said."It was not a good time, not a good feeling."Mr Jones has pleaded not guilty to all charges. (ABC News: Jamie McKinnell)The court also heard there were several staff at Fitzroy Farm on the occasion Complainant J visited, but he agreed he did not raise the alarm or tell anyone there about what he alleges Mr Jones had done.Complainant J was then taken to allegations he made about an assault in the bedroom, where he says Mr Jones hugged him, kissed him and then moved so that their genitals touched as their robes parted."You would have pushed him off you if he ever tried to do such a thing, wouldn't you?" Ms Bashir asked."I didn't," Complainant J replied."I was very scared."In that room that was as scared as I've ever been."The cross-examination has sought to pick apart Complainant J's account of the allegations, and Ms Bashir has suggested there were inconsistencies between his statement to police and the evidence given in court.Complainant J admitted at times that his memory of the events had changed, but told the court he was doing his best to recall alleged events from more than two decades ago.
