One of the allegations against Alan Jones, a former prominent Australian broadcaster, has been withdrawn by the prosecution. The charge of assault with an act of indecency, related to an incident in 2012, was dropped in a Sydney court on Monday. The complainant, identified only as F, had previously accused Jones of touching and squeezing his bottom through clothing at a public event in September 2012. Despite this withdrawal, Jones still faces 21 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching, all of which he has denied. His trial, now in its eighth week at Sydney’s Downing Centre local court, has heard testimony from three complainants, each alleging different incidents involving Jones. One of the complainants, M, a former high-profile athlete, testified that he was kissed twice without his consent by Jones at a sports function over a decade ago. He described being shocked and embarrassed at the time, saying he "froze" when the kiss happened. However, four attendees of the event have told the court they did not witness any inappropriate behavior. One attendee described Jones as "very professional" that night and said he saw no contact between Jones and the athlete. Another attendee said he did not recall the athlete being present and agreed he would have remembered if he had seen the alleged kiss. Jones, who has denied the allegations, has been represented by his legal team, which has pointed out inconsistencies in the athlete’s account of where he was positioned during the incident. The athlete, however, has maintained his story, stating he remembers the kiss clearly. He also alleged a second incident at Jones’s Sydney waterfront apartment years later, where he said Jones kissed him again without consent and made inappropriate physical contact before being pushed away. During the trial, Judge Glenn Walsh expressed frustration with some defense witnesses, noting that those who could not recall seeing Jones or the complainant at the event were of "little assistance" to the court. Jones, now 85, faces a total of 22 charges, including one count of indecent assault and one of sexual touching without consent related to the athlete, which he denies. He has pleaded not guilty to 19 other charges involving four other men, spanning from 2003 to the end of his 35-year broadcasting career.
