An alleged victim of Alan Jones, identified as complainant M, told a Sydney court that an unwanted kiss from the former broadcaster over a decade ago is 'seared in his memory' and he wished it 'never happened'.
During cross-examination by the defence, M agreed he had sent Jones a shirtless photo of himself in Paris some months before the alleged kiss. M explained the photo was sent in response to a question from Jones about how he was faring overseas.
Jones is charged with 20 counts of indecent assault and two charges of sexual touching against six men, to all of which he has pleaded not guilty. Defence barrister Gabrielle Bashir suggested to M that the alleged kiss at an awards night in 2015 never occurred.
M maintained that the kiss happened, stating, "I know the kiss happened because I can’t get it out of my memory." The trial, now in its seventh week, continues before Judge Glenn Walsh.
