The 83-year-old was taken into custody at his Sydney apartment early on Monday morning, as detectives from the New South Wales (NSW) Police Child Abuse Squad searched the harbour-front property and seized electronic devices.

Mr Jones is one of Australia’s most influential media figures, and has previously denied allegations of abuse, first published by The Sydney Morning Herald in 2023.

He now faces 24 charges over alleged incidents between 2001 and 2019, including 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault.

All the charges, except two of common assault, are sex offences.
