Complainant denies fabricating assault claims against Alan Jones

Jones's defense barrister, Gabrielle Bashir SC, suggested that J invented details of alleged indecent assaults at Jones's farm more than 20 years ago to "humiliate" and "smear" the broadcaster. J denied fabricating his account, including specific details about Jones's genitals and alleged sexual touching. Bashir questioned J's memory and alleged inconsistencies between his police statement and his court testimony regarding dates, number of nights stayed, and specific events like a kiss near a pigsty.

J testified that Jones provided him with financial support, including a weekly stipend, a car, and a mobile phone. Bashir suggested J had a financial motive for reporting the allegations, which J denied. The defense also questioned J's decision to report the allegations after seeing media reports of Jones's arrest and suggested he had mixed up occasions and fellow guests during his visits to the farm.
