Alan Jones Arrested

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

He's done well, started race riots , demonised refugees, misogynist attacks on women, spread anti-climate propaganda and molested kids.
What a scumbag.

 

[Xtreme]

Current 17 year old. This is not just historical its now,

That sick piece of crap!!

 

[Cyber_punk]

Like Pell he's lived 90% of his life in comfort, status, privilege. Whether he actually sees prison time or not, at least he will die with the knowledge that he will finally be seen as what he truly is, another creepy old pdf file. And that's a narrative he can't control.

Will probably have a ‘heart attack’ overnight (or next 6mths) due to ‘old age,” leaving victims to miss out on their opportunity for justice.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lock him up.

Given the number of alleged victims shouldn't be able to get bail.

 

[campbell]

Lock him up.

Can her take his mate Donni with him, pretty please?

Why do you think the HCA is corrupt?

Was he ever “out”? I’d heard things decades ago that he was an old queen.

All charged dropped with an apologies and an OA

More likely to letters pertaining to his character from Howard, Abbott, Dutton and Rhinehart and get off on a technicality found by his high priced lawyers.

Jones was released on conditional bail. I heard the charges read out on the radio, some of them go beyond touching and sound pretty serious.

Alan Jones charged with 24 indecent assault and sexual touching offences against eight victims

Former Sydney radio host – who has previously denied all allegations against him – charged over incidents that allegedly occurred between 2001 and 2019

[Kurve]

They included 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault, nine counts of assault with act of indecency, two counts of sexually touching another person without consent and two counts of common assault.

Was he ever “out”? I’d heard things decades ago that he was an old queen.

A reminder that he was not charged for his sexuality but for sexual assault and indecency of multiple people going back decades.

Not saying that, but iirc he was anti-gay

 

[raskolnikov]

I'm sure a few will come crawling out of the woodwork to support him and offer a character reference.

Expecting a statement from Lyle Shelton any time now.

 

[sydney_gws]

Funny that these things only happen to prominent people after they fade into obscurity, become old and aren't doing much.

Paying $1mil to see a jail cell.

He has no influence anymore. Sad If it is true, he seemed a nasty type Jones , but not as bad as Hadley on air is.

 

[Puddy]

Sad that this is only coming to light now he's a nobody.

 

[Awakening]

Wondered if I’d ever see the day.

 

[Pamcake1]

It's made the New York Times with the headline of Australian Shock Jock Charged with Sexual Assults.

The hypocracy of AJ in his table thumping vilification of others, particularly Julia Gillard and Jacinta Ardern, was always to be despised and reviled.
These charges were a long time coming and the NSW police are asking for more people to come forward.

 

[BFew]

I speculate that for those (individuals or organisations) with power, that wanted to attempt to kompromat, influence or restrict what Jones said/wrote and did not say/write, some of them might have had some degree of actual, perceived or potential leverage over him from

1. Him pretty much parking himself in the sexual preferences closet for all his life.

2. Knowing something about some of the things he's now been charged of, and maybe some things (if any) that he's either going to be charged to over the next few years, or things (if there are any) that he will never be charged with.

All speculation of course.
And as per the law, he's legally innocent until he's not.

 

[BFew]

NSW police are asking for more people to come forward.

A ninth alleged victim has resulted in another batch of sexual assault charges.

'NSW Police confirmed on Tuesday the former Wallabies coach has been charged with an extra two counts of assault with act of indecency relating to ninth alleged victim.'

 

[The Sultan]

i find it ironic that the media, is happy to hide each others little secrets, but anyone else is free game.. well until someone is busted then its a free for all.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

pretty shocking allegations though there has been smoke with jones for years. Not surprised at all to see him charged.

These aren't even really all "historical" either, some pretty recent.

It doesn't matter that he's as queer as a 3 pound note, but he has opposed gay marriage.

 

[Festerz]

It doesn't matter that he's as queer as a 3 pound note, but he has opposed gay marriage.

I don't think that's true.

In fact he publicly supported gay marriage in a 2012 interview and in 2016 Jones publicly stated he opposed the same sex marriage plebiscite because it could be “angry and spiteful and divisive” and "gay and lesbian Australians have suffered enough".

His opposition to the same sex marriage plebiscite was latched onto by church and conservative groups as him being against gay marriage but that was a misrepresentation. He was against a costly, divisive and unnecessary plebiscite NOT the concept of same sex marriage.

His 2016 statement said "love was “an elusive thing”.

“If people find it they should be able to celebrate it. If that celebration manifests itself in same-sex marriage, then the world’s not going to fall in. I think people are tired of all this,....”

But again, it's his alleged criminality that's the issue in this thread and NOT his sexuality or his social opinions no matter how offensive or hypocritical they might seem in retrospect.
