An athlete is expected to testify that Jones kissed him without consent and pushed his body against him.
A prominent athlete appeared in Sydney Local Court on Monday. The athlete is expected to describe alleged sexual assaults spanning years.
The athlete says Jones kissed him without permission at a Sydney event. Jones then sent affectionate texts calling him "my darling".
Years later, the athlete alleges, Jones pushed his body against him in his apartment. The athlete told the court he could not move but eventually pushed Jones away and left.
He went to police after reading about similar allegations against the former 2GB radio host. Jones pleads not guilty to 22 counts of indecent assault and sexual touching involving six men between 2003 and 2020.
