Alan Jones accused of multiple sexual assaults

[GrayRanga]

The cynicism around Jones’ condition is certainly understandable.

I don’t think it is implausible though.

I saw him going into one of his preferred Italian eateries about a year before the SMH reporting started. His movement and posture was awful then. He was using a cane and was very stout.

If he goes to Court and is convicted of the offences, his physical health can be taken into consideration by the Court in sentencing.

Until then, he has been charged and is awaiting trial.

I would suggest that the DPP would be loathe to enter a nolle prosequi in this matter as it hints of erosion of the independence of the judiciary

Agreed. I don’t think they should and question if it should even be an option in these scenarios.

Of course, it has nothing to do with defending the Liberal Party "brand" does it?

Exactly the same is the Higgins case, where right wing "journalists" (media commentators) rush to the defence of an alleged sex offender facing Court.

I wonder when and whether the noted defenders of Jones are going to attack the victims?

The usual suspects in that thread can recycle their defence, nobody saw it so it may not have occured, the victims are only seeking a monetary outcome and their interpretaion of the minutae of the allegations "proves" that reasonable doubt exists

Eventually an immigrant will commit the same crimes as Alan Jones and Credlin and Co will collectively lose their minds (but only if they have dark skin).

NSW Detectives have this morning charged Alan Jones with an additional two assault offences against a ninth alleged victim, bringing the total number of charges to 26.

Police said, after receiving legal advice, they were able to lay two additional charges of assault with an act of indecency. His current list of charges includes 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault, which can attract a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment.

I assume the additional charges are due to changes to the Legislation over the years?

Could the actions that result in a charge of assault with an act of indecency the same as those of aggravated indecent assault?

Both imply a physicality about the alleged offences

think we know who they are, don’t we?

i did notice the police commish did ask for others who may have a case to come forward.

This.

Cookers: OK groomer.

Also cookers: I stand with Alan Jones.

I reckon the whole QAnon/Pizzagate/“prominent left wing figures are engaged in a global satanic child kidnapping and abuse cult” conspiracy was just started by right wingers to deflect from the fact it’s always right wing conservatives who get charged with child abuse offences.

As far as I can tell, any accusations coming from the right wing griftosphere are actually just things they've done themselves.

Yep- but why is this such a thing on the conservative side?

She’s not averse to getting traffic violations overturned herself

She’s admitted she lies for her side. Why would she stop now?

Just because someone is a 'friend' they can still be capable of sexual assault. How does this bullshit get on air? Shame

They have no shame.

 

[zumahawk]

Always out of character for Trump, Jones, Pell but everyone else is fair game. I can't recall anybody defending someone in the 'liberal' political sphere that has been charged with anything.

And how the hell would she know given there is no way she, by virtue of her gender, would be victimised by him.

The arse covering begins.

Gina Rinehart deletes mentions of Alan Jones; others carefully word reactions

The former broadcaster’s status as a member of the Australian Media Hall of Fame is also in doubt following this week’s dramatic arrest.

That will be a stretch, Gina's got a lot to cover.

They should project his crimes onto the opera house sails, he’d love that

Maybe they can revisit the UK cases when he was found loitering in a public toilet in London when he was the Wallaby rugby coach.

No let’s focus on him sexually assaulting minors.

Sleazy as it may have been, society has rightly decided there’s nothing criminal about seeking casual sex with someone of the same sex.

Same can’t be said about sexually assaulting underage boys.
