On a rainy Monday morning in Sydney, the nation’s media, political and rugby union class are coming to terms with one of the biggest stories in recent memory.
Shortly before 8:00am this morning, broadcaster, coach, media figure and noted loud mouth Alan Jones was arrested by NSW police.
“Child Abuse Squad detectives have arrested a man following an investigation into alleged indecent assault and sexual touching offences spanning two decades,” a NSW Police statement read.
Police are expected to address the media this afternoon.
Jones was previously the subject of a Sydney Morning Herald investigation, which detailed allegations from a number of men about the media figure’s behaviour.
Jones denied those allegations at the time, and has yet to provide comment on the arrest.
The historic arrest comes after a nine month investigation by police.
The arrest of the controversial figure has also set tongues wagging across the country, with some calling for the old fella to be put in a chaff bag and taken out to sea.
Those comments come some 12 years after the angry little man took to the airwaves to call for the nation’s first female Prime Minister to be put into a chaff bag, and taken out to sea.
The disgraceful comments were also complemented by the appalling claims that Prime Minister Julia’s Gillard’s father had died of shame, because of his daughter’s actions.
Now, the emotive calls have been echoed back at Jones, who, regardless of the outcome of the case, has brought shame upon himself and his entire family.
More to come.
