The Sydney Morning Herald’s chief investigative reporter, Kate McClymont, has been called to give evidence in former 2GB broadcaster Alan Jones’ indecent assault and sexual touching trial in Sydney.
McClymont appeared at the historic Downing Centre District Court as the Crown’s case continued against Jones, 85, who is facing 19 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching without consent.
The charges relate to five male complainants and are alleged to have occurred between 2003 and 2020. Jones has pleaded not guilty and denies that the alleged physical acts took place.

The court has heard that McClymont spoke to three of the complainants while investigating allegations against the broadcaster. Her inquiries culminated in a series of reports.
All five complainants have now given evidence in the trial. McClymont’s appearance marks the next stage of the Crown’s case in the proceedings.
