At Alan Jones's indecent assault and sexual touching trial, the fifth and final alleged victim testified about an incident when Jones kissed him on the lips and touched his buttocks at age 17. The now-adult complainant received over $90,000 in support from Jones for family struggles starting four years earlier. After the kiss, he scrubbed his mouth clean and felt violated, fearing Jones would withdraw financial assistance if he protested.
