> A complainant in the case against former radio broadcaster Alan Jones has rejected a defence suggestion that he fabricated indecent assault allegations. In a Sydney court, the defence argued that complainant J may have had a financial motive after losing his police job and experiencing extremely difficult circumstances. The alleged incidents occurred about 20 years before the report. Jones, 85, faces 22 charges and has pleaded not guilty.
