A former junior staffer, “C,” takes the stand in the high-profile trial of broadcaster Alan Jones, facing 20 counts of indecent assault and 2 sexual touching charges spanning nearly two decades. Testifying about being groomed by Jones during his early twenties — despite being a young adult — “C” describes how Jones manipulated him through secretive behavior and unwanted physical contact, exploiting a massive power imbalance. He reveals he once wrote a grateful, affectionate message to Jones years later, a response born from manipulation he now deeply regrets. Facing defense questions about potential collusion with colleague Ray Hadley, “C” firmly denies any motive or rivalry, emphasizing he confided in Hadley out of trust — not strategy. The case underscores that grooming isn’t just for children; it thrives on control, secrecy, and emotional coercion — even across generations.
