Alan Jones trial: defence challenges grooming claim involving adult complainant

At Alan Jones's Sydney trial, defence barrister Gabrielle Bashir SC argued grooming applies to young children, not adults. Complainant C, Jones's former driver, said he was "groomed to write" sexualised texts years after the alleged assaults. Jones, 85, denies 22 charges. The court must decide whether grooming — the psychological manipulation of a victim — extends beyond minors.
