A barrister representing Alan Jones has accused one of his complainants of reporting the former broadcaster to police in order to get compensation.
The man, known at Complainant J, denied he was after money, saying "I don't want anything from this".
A non-publication order placed over the cross-examination on Wednesday was lifted on Thursday.
A man accusing Alan Jones of indecently assaulting him as a 17-year-old made a police complaint to "get money", the former broadcaster's lawyer has told a Sydney court.
Complainant J is under cross-examination on day four of Mr Jones's criminal trial, where he has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching.
The Local Court in Sydney has heard Complainant J met Mr Jones in high school, and alleges he was kissed and touched by the former broadcaster on multiple occasions, starting when he was 17.
It has also heard Mr Jones gave Complainant J a mobile phone, a car and weekly payments of between $400 and $600 a week, which stopped in 2012 when contact between the pair became less frequent.
A non-publication order covering the cross-examination on Wednesday was lifted on Thursday afternoon, meaning two days' worth of evidence can now be reported.

Mr Jones's barrister, Gabrielle Bashir SC, revealed in her cross-examination on Wednesday that Complainant J was a police officer for many years, but resigned from the job amid claims of misconduct after a "serious misconduct" breach.
Ms Bashir put to Complainant J that he was in financial difficulty due to his unemployment, and made a complaint to police about Mr Jones to get compensation.
"Did you see an opportunity there for something life changing to happen to you?" Ms Bashir asked.
"Isn't it the case that you did see bringing such an allegation as an opportunity to ultimately get money paid to you by Mr Jones?
"You well understand that civil proceedings are possible to bring, don't you?" Ms Bashir said.
