Complainant 'J' concludes evidence in Alan Jones sexual assault trial

In a Sydney courtroom, a trial unfolds that asks the oldest and most difficult of human questions: how do we weigh the word of the vulnerable against the reputation of the powerful? On the sixth day of proceedings against former broadcaster Alan Jones, the first complainant completed his testimony, describing years of alleged harm that began when he was a teenager and was met, he says, with the currency of generosity before it became the currency of control. The court now turns to hear further voices, as the law attempts to do what time alone cannot — reckon honestly with the past.
