A second complainant, referred to as Complainant C, has begun giving evidence in the Alan Jones trial.

The man says he "had to cop" the former broadcaster's alleged assaults because of their power dynamic imbalance.

Complainant C says he felt "pretty frozen" when Mr Jones allegedly put his hand on the man's penis, an allegation Mr Jones denies.

A former colleague of broadcaster Alan Jones has broken down in tears while describing an alleged unwanted kiss from the radio host, telling the court he "had to cop" Mr Jones's alleged assaults because of the power dynamic.

The man, known as Complainant C, is accusing Mr Jones of indecently assaulting him on eight different occasions when the pair worked together in 2008, including allegedly kissing him in a lift and touching his groin in the car.

Mr Jones has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching, relating to six complainants, and is on trial in the NSW Local Court.

On Complainant C's first day of giving evidence, he said he was 18 when he first met Mr Jones, and described it as a "big deal" for someone who wanted to work in media, and whose family were avid listeners of Mr Jones.

"To be able to say I worked with Alan Jones was pretty much as good as it gets for a young kid," he said.

Complainant C then went on to say Mr Jones could be "berating" at work if things were not done to his liking, and the complainant would at times "cop a spray" from the radio host.

After a trip to Mr Jones's Fitzroy Falls property in the NSW Southern Highlands, Complainant C said their relationship shifted to being more about "banter" and "jokey".

"The dynamic had shifted a little bit, like I'd got through the period of getting torn strips off in the office and now I was sort of looked after by him," he said.

Complainant C told the court that Mr Jones began sending him complimentary and "romantic" texts, in which he would say "big hugs and big kisses".

"Like being bombarded with love … love bombing," he told the court.
