Ray Hadley testifies in Alan Jones sexual assault trial, describing victim breaking down in tears

Tuesday, 1 September 2026, 06:32 · 1 min read

Australian radio broadcaster Ray Hadley has given evidence in the Sydney trial of fellow radio host Alan Jones (an influential Australian conservative commentator and longtime 2GB breakfast presenter), telling the court that an alleged victim sobbed as he described being groped and kissed by Jones without consent. Hadley testified that the man, identified only as complainant C, told him in 2019 that Jones had touched his genitals on multiple occasions, including during a public luncheon, and said he felt powerless because Jones was "too powerful." Jones, 85, has pleaded not guilty to 20 charges of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching against six complainants, with his defence arguing the case has been driven by media ambition and Hadley's own rivalry with Jones over the coveted 2GB breakfast timeslot.
