Hadley Testifies in Jones Trial | Sydney News

Ray Hadley took the stand in court this week, revealing a harrowing 2019 conversation with an alleged victim of Alan Jones — a man who described being sexually assaulted by the 85-year-old broadcaster, including inappropriate touching and kissing, while emphatically denying being gay. Hadley, bound by his promise to keep the identity confidential, testified that the man sobbed during their nearly 40-minute confession. Now, Jones faces 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching across six men, all of which he denies. The defense is aggressively pushing back, claiming the case is driven by media rivalry — specifically, Hadley’s long-standing feud with Jones over the coveted 2GB breakfast slot, even suggesting Hadley may have secretly been poised to replace him. They argue that sensationalist reporting and manufactured narratives are fueling the trial, painting a picture of a media war masquerading as justice. As the trial unfolds, the courtroom grapples with whether truth or vendetta lies at its heart.
