Former Politician Testifies Alleged Victim Appeared 'Sunken and Diminished' at Meeting with Alan Jones
A witness told a Sydney court that a man's demeanour changed noticeably during a meeting with the broadcaster at his Circular Quay apartment.
A former member of parliament who worked with an alleged victim of broadcaster Alan Jones has testified in a Sydney court that the man appeared uncharacteristically "sunken and diminished" during a meeting with Jones at his Circular Quay apartment.
The witness, a former MP who has not been named by Guardian Australia in order to protect the identity of the alleged victim, referred to in court as complainant C, gave evidence at the Downing Centre court, according to the report.
The former politician said the man was usually outgoing and engaged, but his demeanour changed once he sat down at a table with his former boss, the outlet reported.
The testimony forms part of ongoing proceedings in the trial, which has been the subject of continuing court reporting, according to the Guardian Australia article and an accompanying podcast series titled Alan Jones on Trial.
Further details of the proceedings, including the nature of the allegations and additional testimony, were not fully specified in the available report.
