Disgraced former Australian Wallabies coach and Sydney media powerhouse Alan Jones has been charged over alleged historic indecent assault and sexual touching offences going back twenty years.

Media reports, however, suggest Jones has victims dating many more decades prior to becoming a kingpin on Sydney radio.

The 83-year-old also coached the Balmain Tigers between 1991 and 1993.

Jones was arrested in his Circular Quay apartment on Monday.

The charges include 24 alleged offenses, including 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault, with one alleged victim as young as 17.

A spokesman for Jones told NewsWire, that they have “no idea what this is about but I have no comment”.

Alan Jones first debuted on Sydney radio for 2UE in 1985 with the shock jock eventually finishing up with 2GB in 2020.

The former school teacher was arrested in London in 1988 for ‘outraging public decency’ and ‘committing an indecent act’ in a public toilet.

A year later, Jones was elected to the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.

In 2015, Jones was questioned by a caller on 2GB about his own sexuality while discussing same-sex marriages.

“That’s irrelevant to the issue. The issue is marriage definitionally, of course, [it] is a union between man and a woman. It’s not what I think, you think, Bill Shorten thinks, it’s what the community thinks, and the Parliament thinks, and let those people express their view.

“I don’t understand the complexity of it – we’re not telling anyone what to believe, it’s 2015.

“On this issue we must respect the view of others. The reality is this, in a very difficult world, which is often impersonal, uncaring, ruthless and sometimes brutal in personal relationships, love can prove elusive.. and my view is that when people find love they should be able to celebrate it. And they shouldn’t be discriminated against according to the nature of that love.

“To deny people the recognition for a relationship which is based on love is to deny in my opinion one of humankind’s most basic, but as I said elusive, qualities.”
