Child Abuse Squad detectives have laid one additional charge against Alan Jones, relating to a new alleged victim.

NSW Police said Jones was issued with a court attendance notice on Friday for one an additional count of assault with act of indecency. He is due to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday.

The extra charge follows an investigation into alleged indecent assault and sexual touching offences spanning two decades.

It’s believed the latest charge relates to an incident 12 years ago, when Jones is accused of pinching a man on the buttock while the two had their arms around each other posing for a photo.

In March 2024, State Crime Command’s Child Abuse Squad established Strike Force Bonnefin to investigate a number of alleged indecent assaults and sexual touching incidents between 2001 and 2019.

In November 2024, 83-year-old Jones was charged and remains before the courts.

Jones is accused of kissing a man and touching his penis with his own, police alleged in December after laying fresh charges, with the veteran broadcaster vowing to fight “baseless” historical abuse allegations.

The 83-year-old former 2GB host fronted court in December for the first time, appearing before Judge Michael Allen at Downing Centre Local Court as his lawyer Bryan Wrench entered pleas of not guilty on his behalf.

Mr Jones is now facing 35 charges relating to 11 alleged victims, eight of which were laid by police on Tuesday.

As he left the courthouse, Mr Jones – a stalwart of Sydney radio and a political insider – unfolded a piece of paper and addressed the large media scrum and hecklers waiting for him outside.

“Firstly, let me say this: I am certainly not guilty and I will be presenting my account to a jury, as you heard this morning,” Mr Jones told the crowd as hecklers hurled abuse.
