The charges were brought following allegations published by the Sydney Morning Herald. Jones has pleaded not guilty and denied any wrongdoing. One of the complainants, who was 17 at the time, will testify in a closed courtroom. The trial, which began recently, is expected to last several weeks and involve more than 70 witnesses. Jones, a well-known conservative broadcaster and former coach of Australia's national rugby team, has been a prominent figure in Australian media for decades.
