‘A stunning development’: Kate McClymont on the arrest of Alan Jones

On the same radio station that Alan Jones wielded his extraordinary power, his arrest played out live on air.

Just after 8am, during the middle of his old radio spot, investigative journalist Kate McClymont broke the news that the former broadcaster - who was the most successful and feared of his time - was in the custody of police.

McClymont, whose work sparked the police investigation, revealed in our mastheads last year that the controversial broadcaster allegedly indecently assaulted, groped or inappropriately touched multiple young men.

Today, Kate McClymont brings us the latest on this significant development and what happens from here.

And just a warning, this episode contains descriptions of alleged sexual assault.

Support is available from the National Sexual Assault, Domestic and Family Violence Counselling Service(1800RESPECT) on 1800 737 732.
