Former conservative radio broadcaster and icon Alan Jones has been charged with 24 offences against eight alleged victims after a police investigation sparked by a series of newspaper stories.

The move by New South Wales (NSW) Police comes after a near-nine-month long investigation into Jones following the release of several articles in late 2023 by The Sydney Morning Herald detailing the allegations.
