00:02In week 7 of the Alan Jones criminal trial, a prominent athlete is the latest accuser to give evidence.
00:08Complainant M says he knew Alan Jones professionally and socially and became uncomfortable with his flattery.
00:15Telling the court, Mr Jones often farewelled him the same way.
00:18The phrase was, if someone hasn't told you, let me be the first person to tell you that you're special.
00:23He says the former radio host sent him flowers weekly and that Mr Jones would often kiss him on the
00:29cheek.
00:30But at an event in 2015, alleges Mr Jones kissed his mouth while he was walking past.
00:36I recall thinking, the f*** just kind of happened. Like why would someone do that here?
00:41On the way home, the court heard Mr Jones texted the athlete, I hope you can feel my kisses, darling.
00:47Alan Jones has been charged with indecent assault in relation to that alleged kiss.
00:51A second kiss, complainant M says, happened when the defendant allegedly approached him at his circular key apartment around 2020.
00:59The kisses were getting closer to my mouth and at the same time as kissing me, he was saying things
01:04like,
01:05I love you so much. You don't know how much I love you.
01:08As I could feel his genitalia against me, I pushed him away, saying, OK, mate, in a tone to say,
01:14get away from me.
01:15The complainant sat in the courtroom with Alan Jones, the first complainant in this case to do so.
01:21He told the court he was always concerned about Alan Jones' influence and how he could destroy people.
01:28He'll continue giving evidence tomorrow.
