A man who accuses broadcaster Alan Jones of indecently assaulting and kissing him says he broke down in tears while confiding in radio host Ray Hadley. He tells the court that the disclosure happened during a difficult personal moment and that he communicated his allegations to Hadley after becoming emotional.

According to the accounts reported by multiple outlets, the accuser describes the conversation with Hadley as tearful and close to the time of his allegations. One report says the accuser used explicit language when speaking to loved ones and Hadley, while another focuses on the claim that the conversation helped prompt or support what he later brings before the court. The outlets agree on the core detail that Hadley was told and that the accuser presented as distressed.

The coverage differs mainly in emphasis and wording, with some reports highlighting the emotional nature of the confession and others including additional detail about the accuser’s language in recounting events.
