According to a report by The Guardian, Kate McClymont, the chief investigative reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald, has given evidence in the indecent assault trial of Alan Jones, a former radio broadcaster. Jones has pleaded not guilty to 21 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching, the outlet reported.
The Guardian reported that McClymont told a Sydney court that alleged victims of Jones whom she interviewed "received no benefit" from her or the media company for telling their stories.
The Guardian also reported that McClymont's 2023 articles led to other alleged victims. The account does not say how many there were, what they alleged, or what has happened to their claims since.
According to the report by Amanda Meade, the Guardian's media correspondent, the account does not include a response from Jones or his lawyers, and it does not describe the stage the trial has reached.
The Guardian's report is the only source for this story, so the details above rest on that outlet's account and have not been checked against other reporting.
