Alan Jones, 84岁, 面对与9名据称受害人有关的25项猥亵攻击和2项性接触指控, 悉尼唐宁中心地方法院定于2026年8月开庭审理。 Alan Jones, 84, faces 25 counts of indecent assault and two of sexual touching related to nine alleged victims, with a hearing set for August 2026 in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court. 本案源自记者Kate McClymont对2023年的调查,涉及139名检方证人。 The case, stemming from a 2023 investigation by journalist Kate McClymont, includes 139 prosecution witnesses. Jones否认所有指控,声称他没有充分了解调查情况,并援引被扣留的警察和新闻材料。 Jones denies all charges, claiming he was not adequately informed about the investigation, citing withheld police and journalistic materials. 他辩护称,这破坏了公平审判,并要求上级法院进行陪审团审判,但被驳回。 His defense argues this undermines a fair trial and has requested a jury trial in a higher court, which was denied. 检察官放弃了两项指控,并消除了权力不平衡的主张,将案件范围缩小到2003年至2020年私人和公共环境中的事件。 Prosecutors dropped two allegations and removed claims of power imbalance, narrowing the case to incidents between 2003 and 2020 in private and public settings. 这次听证会预计持续到12月,将于11月20日恢复管理。 The hearing, expected to last until December, will return for management on November 20.
