Alan Jones has been charged with an additional two indecent assault offences, as police reveal a ninth alleged victim has come forward.
Jones, 83, was arrested around 7.45am on Monday at his Circular Quay apartment and later taken to Day Street Police Station in the Sydney CBD after detectives searched his home.
Shortly after 3pm on Monday, NSW Police revealed Jones had been hit by a slew of charges involving 24 alleged offences against eight alleged victims between 2001 to 2019.
They included 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault – victim under authority of offender, nine counts of assault with act of indecency, two counts of sexually touch another person without consent and two counts of common assault.
The youngest of the alleged victims was just 17-years-old at the time, while another is a former Olympic athlete.
On Tuesday morning, police revealed Jones had been laid with an additional two charges of assault with act of indecency relating to a ninth alleged victim, bringing the total number of charges he faces to 26.
Jones said nothing as he left Day Street Police station on Monday afternoon and appeared to briefly snarl at the waiting media pack who thrust microphones in front of his face.
The former talkback king, who was dressed in an all-green tracksuit ensemble with emerald loafers, struggled to a waiting car with the aid of a walking stick.

His high profile lawyer, Chris Murphy, said he would be defending the charges.
‘Nothing has been tested, nothing has been proven,’ Mr Murphy told reporters.
‘Alan Jones will assert his innocence appropriately in the courtroom – he denies any misconduct, this matter will be defended.’
More to come.
