A Sydney court hears testimony from investigative journalist Kate McClymont in Alan Jones’s indecent assault and sexual touching trial. Jones, a former radio broadcaster, has pleaded not guilty to 21 charges involving five men. McClymont is described as the journalist whose reporting helped trigger the police investigation and Jones’s eventual arrest.
Multiple outlets say McClymont gives evidence about interviews she conducted with alleged victims. The coverage includes details from a series of her 2023 reports, and how further complainants came forward after her work. ABC Australia and The Guardian also frame part of her testimony around allegations or questioning that her reporting was not driven by any financial or personal benefit, with references to “profit motive” appearing in some titles.
The differing angles are mainly in emphasis: some outlets highlight the “profit motive” line of questioning, while others focus on McClymont’s role in the investigation and the trial’s live progress. Several outlets’ live-update writeups draw directly from the same courtroom evidence, repeating the same core information.
