Former broadcaster Alan Jones’ defence team will not pursue a previously flagged application to stay (pause) his upcoming trial on indecent assault and sexual touching charges. Reporting across multiple outlets says Jones is “anxious to have his day in court,” and that the motion to delay the proceedings will not be pressed. The matter continues toward trial as scheduled, with the defence opting to proceed rather than seeking a suspension of the case. The reports indicate the decision follows consideration of a court application that had been signalled earlier, but it is now withdrawn before being pursued. No alternative delay or new scheduling outcome is reported in the coverage, and the focus remains on the trial progressing on the basis of the current timetable. The charges relate to alleged conduct described in court documents, and the case proceeds under the normal criminal process.
