The charges against Alan Jones, explained

As Alan Jones begins the toughest fight of his life he’ll be looking to see who among the celebrated members of his “pick and stick” club remain loyal as he faces charges of indecent assault and inappropriate touching.

For years, the legendary broadcaster has counted on the likes of billionaire James Packer, television host Karl Stefanovic, celebrity accountant Anthony Bell and a raft of other movers-and-shakers to stand by him when controversy hits.

On Monday night, Sky News commentator Peta Credlin, a long-time Jones supporter, was one of the few to offer a public comment.

Criticising the police for clearly tipping off the media about Jones’ arrest, Credlin said: “I wish my friend well for what will be a difficult few months ahead.”

However, it seems possible that Jones’ support crew may have inadvertently contributed to his current predicament, with claims that one of his accusers, identified by the pseudonym “Bradley Webster”, only filed a police report after becoming incensed after being publicly slammed for making allegations under the cloak of anonymity.
