Police investigated an allegation that Alan Jones indecently assaulted a schoolboy at the broadcaster’s sprawling Southern Highlands estate, directly contradicting a claim by the NSW police commissioner that no complaints have been received.
This has been documented and confirmed by NSW Police officers who undertook the investigation.
On Friday, NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb told reporters that no complaints had been received about Jones. “I’m informed at this stage no one has made a complaint to police, but of course if they do, we will take that investigation and fully investigate that matter,” she said.
However, the Herald and The Age can reveal that in November 2017, two specialist detectives met schoolboy Neil Ogden (not his real name) and his principal at his high school in Wollongong, south of Sydney.
The detectives later came to Ogden’s house, where he provided a statement alleging he had just turned 17 when he was invited to spend a weekend at Jones’ Fitzroy Falls property in January 2017.
At the time, Jones was the top-rating broadcaster on Sydney’s radio 2GB and had taken an interest in and was financially assisting Ogden and his mother as they battled numerous difficulties, including the death of Ogden’s sister, which was the subject of some publicity.
Ogden alleges he and Jones, who was 75 at the time, watched a movie at the luxurious rural property before Jones passionately kissed him on the lips and placed his left hand on Ogden’s buttocks. Ogden initially froze, then pushed Jones away. He said he didn’t make a scene because of anxiety that Jones might withdraw support for his family if he complained.
The mother and son recalled this week that police told them Jones would hire a formidable legal team, and it would be the word of a schoolboy against one of the most powerful people in the country. Jones was not “Joe Blow from Bunnings”, Jenny Ogden recalled an officer saying.
The detective also said that because Jones was such a high-profile person, “head office wanted a briefing straight away”. In the end, Neil Ogden decided that he didn’t want to pursue the matter. The police respected his decision, said the officer.
