He faces 20 charges of indecent assault and two of sexual touching without consent, to all of which he has pleaded not guilty. The judge-alone trial at Downing Centre Local Court is expected to last for months, with over 70 witnesses scheduled to give evidence. Prosecutors detailed allegations that Jones used his position of power, including as a schoolteacher and broadcaster, to prey on young men, with specific instances of unwanted physical contact described. Jones has consistently denied the allegations since his arrest in 2024, stating they are either "baseless or they distort the truth."
