## Resource

A politician’s courtroom testimony paints a chilling portrait of an alleged victim, C, who appeared shattered and withdrawn during a meeting with Alan Jones — a stark contrast to his usual vibrant self. Witnesses describe C’s anxiety, silence, and avoidance of eye contact, while friends recount years of confessions about Jones’s alleged inappropriate behavior, including crude remarks about being “grabbed on the cock” and kissed in lifts. As the trial unfolds, the prosecution builds its case against Jones on multiple charges of indecent assault, while the defense pushes back — but the emotional toll on C remains central to the unfolding drama.
