00:02In week eight of his lengthy trial, Alan Jones has heard the allegations of a fourth alleged victim.
00:10Are you getting tired yet, Mr Jones?
00:12The former 2GB host has pleaded not guilty to 21 counts of indecent assault and sexual touching.
00:19Today, the court's heard from an executive complainant, H, a man who says he didn't know Alan Jones when the
00:26broadcaster allegedly touched him at an event.
00:28He placed his hand on the top of my back and went slowly down my back and then rested it
00:33on my bottom.
00:34The executive says he had his back to a wall, no one saw, and he didn't speak up.
00:40I didn't want to cause a scene. I thought that could potentially ruin the night.
00:44He says he told his boss that night and another colleague days later.
00:48I said that I felt disgusting and powerless, and that's really the first time I've understood what women have been
00:55going through for all these years.
00:56Mr Jones has pleaded not guilty to one count of sexual touching in relation to this complainant, who finished their
01:03evidence today.
01:04The court heard that in some of complainant H's text messages, he refers to Alan Jones as a pig and
01:10says that he wasn't a fan.
01:12The defence suggested he doesn't like Alan Jones's political views and made up his complaint.
01:18But the executive says his accusations are absolutely true.
01:22That's great.
