A prominent Australian athlete testified in a Sydney court that radio host Alan Jones allegedly indecently assaulted him, including kissing without consent and pressing his genitals against the athlete at Jones's apartment. The athlete said he was concerned about offending Jones due to the latter’s influence and power over others. Text messages exchanged between them, read aloud in court, revealed Jones frequently expressed love and sent kisses, despite the athlete not reciprocating those feelings. Jones denies all 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching without consent from six complainants spanning 2003 to the end of his radio career.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
