> A complainant told a Sydney court that Alan Jones touched his penis and kissed him while he was a young 2GB driver. Jones has pleaded not guilty to 20 indecent assault charges and two sexual-touching counts involving six men. The defence cited explicit messages between them, while the complainant said they reflected how he had been groomed and managed the powerful broadcaster relationship.
