Former broadcaster Alan Jones has been charged with nine more counts of indecent assault, adding to the already dozens of allegations against him spanning nearly two decades.
Court records show Jones was charged with the new offences on Monday, bringing the total number of counts to 44.

Following his arrest at his luxury harbourside apartment in Circular Quay late last year, the 84-year-old pleaded not guilty to the raft of indecent assault and sexual touching charges against 11 alleged victims aged 17 and over, allegedly committed between 2001 and 2019.
Jones initially faced 26 charges. Eight more were laid before his first court appearance in December, one more was pressed against him in March, and nine more were laid this week.
The allegations across the dozens of counts include fondling penises, stroking thighs, squeezing bottoms, kissing “using his tongue”, pulling a man’s scrotum and masturbating during one alleged indecent assault, court documents earlier seen by this masthead outlined.

Jones is accused of committing the crimes at his former Newtown home, his harbourside apartment, his farm at Fitzroy Falls in the Southern Highlands, Tamworth in northern NSW and other Sydney spots.
He had a mix of personal and professional relationships with his complainants, police have said, and some were allegedly abused upon meeting him.
Jones was set to face the local court on Thursday over the 35 earlier charges. He will now also face a first appearance on the fresh allegations.
