An additional two charges have been laid against former Australian broadcaster Alan Jones. 

The 83-year-old is now facing a total of 26 indecent assault charges, relating to nine alleged victims over the span of two-decades. 

Jones was granted conditional bail, and has been scheduled to appear at Downing Centre local court in Sydney on the 18th of December. 

Australian Correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking that the complainants now include a prominent Olympian, a 17-year-old, and several men who were under his employ. 

He says that it’s one of the most high-profile cases of its type they’ve ever seen, with two very prominent Australians —former Prime Minister John Howard and James Packer— both backing Jones.
