A witness told Alan Jones's indecent assault trial he saw the broadcaster with an alleged teenage complainant near a parked limousine.

Alan Jones is standing trial having pleaded not guilty to 19 counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching. He denies allegations he groped and kissed five male complainants.

One man told the court on Monday that he saw Jones and the alleged teenage complainant near a parked limousine on the side of the road as he drove past. He had met the complainant through a local sporting club. He noted that Jones was using a walking stick and the then-teen was several metres in front of him.

The alleged complainant, known as Complainant A, has told the court he was 17 years old when Jones kissed him without his consent, put his tongue in his mouth and grabbed his buttocks at Jones's farm. According to the court, the teenager was staying overnight at the property after meeting Jones years earlier when he had written to him asking for help with his family's financial troubles.

Jones denies the allegation, claiming through his defence that the two said goodnight and there was no sexual contact between them.
