Alan Jones is arrested at his luxury apartment over allegations that he indecently assaulted, groped or inappropriately touched several young men

Alan Jones has been arrested by NSW police at his Sydney apartment over allegations he indecently assaulted, groped or inappropriately touched several young men.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Jones was arrested on Monday morning and taken to Day Street police station.

Nine newspapers first reported allegations against Jones almost a year ago, including claims that Jones inappropriately kissed and groped a 17-year-old schoolboy who visited his sprawling Southern Highlands estate in 2017.

The allegations relate almost exclusively to his time at Sydney’s main talkback station, 2GB, but predate Nine Radio’s current ownership.

Jones has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and his lawyers have described the allegations against him as demonstrably false and defamatory.

In March, he broke his silence on the accusation in a five-minute segment, also saying he “completely refuted” the allegations against him and the inferences attached to them.

Jones said he had ‘an intention to return to broadcasting eventually’, but sources close to the broadcaster said he had no intention of returning to the spotlight in the near future and remained on ‘indefinite’ leave .
