Alan Jones has been arrested at his apartment in Sydney by NSW Police over allegations he indecently assaulted, groped or inappropriately touched multiple young men.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports Jones was arrested on Monday morning at his Circular Quay apartment and taken to Day Street Police Station.
Nine newspapers first reported allegations against Jones almost a year ago, including claims Jones inappropriately kissed and groped a 17-year-old schoolboy who visited his sprawling Southern Highlands estate in 2017.
The allegations relate almost exclusively to his time at Sydney’s leading talkback station, 2GB, but predate its current ownership by Nine Radio.
Jones has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and his lawyers have described the allegations against him as demonstrably false and defamatory.
Breaking his silence in a five-minute clip in March, he also said he ‘refuted’ the allegations against him ‘entirely and the inferences associated with them’.
Jones said he had ‘every intention of returning to broadcasting eventually’, but sources close to the broadcaster said he had no intention of returning to the spotlight in the immediate future and remained on ‘indefinite’ leave.
