Former radio broadcaster and Australian rugby coach Alan Jones denies indecent assault charges

Associated Press  

SYDNEY — Retired Sydney radio broadcaster and former Australian national rugby coach Alan Jones denied all allegations after he appeared in court on Wednesday charged with multiple sex crimes against 10 males over two decades. Jones was not asked to enter pleas to the 34 charges of aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, sexually touching without consent and common assault. Two more alleged victims have come forward since police charged Jones on Nov. 18 with 24 offenses relating to eight complainants aged as young as 17. On Wednesday, defense lawyer Bryan Wrench told Judge Michael Allen that Jones would welcome a jury trial in the New South Wales state District Court to clear his name.
