As the trial of former broadcaster Alan Jones approaches, prosecutors have signaled their intent to present evidence of a recurring pattern of behavior. The 85-year-old, who has pleaded not guilty to 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching, is set to face a four-month hearing beginning on August 3. Legal proceedings have been underway in the New South Wales Local Court to finalize evidence and the scope of the case, which involves allegations spanning from 2003 to 2020.
