Complainant J has given evidence on the fifth day of the Alan Jones trial in Sydney.<\/p>\n
The man alleged he was a teen when he was instructed to "wear a robe and nothing else" during a visit to Mr Jones's Fitzroy Falls property in 2004.<\/p>\n
The 85-year-old is accused of assaulting him on nine occasions in 2003 and 2004. He denies all the charges.<\/p>\n
A man accusing Alan Jones of historical indecent assault has told a court he followed the broadcaster's alleged direction to have a shower and come out in a robe because he did not want to disappoint Mr Jones.<\/p>\n
Complainant J, who alleges Mr Jones indecently assaulted him on nine occasions in 2003 and 2004, has been cross-examined by barrister Gabrielle Bashir about his account of the allegations in the Sydney Local Court trial.<\/p>\n
The Crown and Complainant J said he was 17 at the time of the first alleged assault in 2003, but under cross-examination Complainant J agreed he may have been 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Jones's defence team said none of the allegations made by Complainant J ever happened.<\/p>\n
The 85-year-old has pleaded not guilty to 20 counts of assault with act of indecency and two counts of sexual touching relating to six alleged victims between 2003 and 2020.<\/p>\n
Complainant J, now in his 40s, alleged Mr Jones asked him to wear "a robe and nothing else" during a visit to his Fitzroy Falls property in 2004.<\/p>\n
The date of the trip to Fitzroy Falls is alleged to have happened at some time in 2004, when Complainant J was 18 or 19.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones's barristers have pushed Complainant J on why he did not stop the alleged behaviour at any point, and why he followed the alleged instruction to wear a robe when he said Mr Jones had assaulted him several times already that day.<\/p>\n
"You must have understood that this was some kind of suggestion of getting ready for sexual activity?" Ms Bashir said.<\/p>\n
"You could have put your pants back on," Ms Bashir said.<\/p>\n
