Alan Jones has been charged with a further two sexual assault offenses after police revealed a ninth alleged victim has come forward.
Jones, 83, was arrested at his Circular Quay apartment about 7.45am on Monday and later taken to Day Street Police Station in the Sydney CBD after detectives searched his home.
Shortly after 3pm on Monday, NSW Police revealed Jones had been hit with a raft of charges relating to 24 alleged crimes against eight alleged victims between 2001 and 2019.
These included eleven cases of aggravated indecent assault – victim under the authority of the perpetrator, nine cases of assault with an act of indecency, two cases of sexually touching another person without consent and two cases of common assault.
The youngest of the alleged victims was just 17 years old at the time, while another was a former Olympic athlete.
On Tuesday morning, police revealed that Jones had been charged with a further two charges of assault with indecency in relation to a ninth alleged victim, bringing the total number of charges he faces to 26.
Jones said nothing as he left the Day Street police station Monday afternoon and briefly appeared to growl at the waiting media pack holding microphones in front of his face.
The former talkback king, wearing an all-green tracksuit with emerald green loafers, struggled to a waiting car with the help of a walking stick.
