Charge Dropped Against One Complainant in Alan Jones Sexual Assault Trial
A charge involving one of five alleged victims was withdrawn during former broadcaster Alan Jones's trial in Sydney.
Prosecutors have withdrawn an allegation from one complainant in the trial of former broadcaster Alan Jones, according to The Guardian. The dropped charge involved an accusation of indecent assault against a person who was 17 at the time, brought by a complainant identified only as F.
The withdrawal, made in a Sydney court on Monday afternoon, brings the number of alleged victims in the case to five, the report said. The court also heard from four people who said they did not witness the alleged offense against another complainant, according to The Guardian.
