Former top broadcaster Alan Jones has been arrested in Sydney over alleged indecent assault and sexual touching offences spanning two decades.
Police arrested Jones, 83, at his Circular Quay home this morning and took him to Day Street station.
In March 2024, State Crime Command's Child Abuse Squad established Strike Force Bonnefin to investigate a number of alleged indecent assaults and sexual touching incidents between 2001 and 2019.

Police said a search was underway in Jones' luxury apartment this morning.
Investigators are expected to speak on the arrest later today.
The Herald and the Age newspapers in recent months published allegations from a number of young men that they had been indecently assaulted by Jones.
Jones has strenuously denied all allegations of indecent assault made against him, and 9News is not suggesting Jones has been arrested in relation to those claims.
The broadcaster, who retired from radio in 2020 and from television in 2021, was one of the most popular and influential in the industry.
More to come.
