The mother of a man accusing broadcaster Alan Jones of assault has denied attempting to exploit his financial support.

The mother of a man who has accused broadcaster Alan Jones of assault has denied attempting to exploit the broadcaster's generosity, telling Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court she was in a 'web of dependency' with him. She continued to email Jones even after her son raised the allegation with her, the court heard.

The son, identified only as 'Complainant A', alleged Jones kissed him without consent and grabbed his buttock when he was 17 at Jones's Fitzroy Falls home. The contact began when the man wrote to Jones about his family's financial difficulties. Over several years, Jones provided more than £100,000 to assist the family, helped renegotiate their mortgage to reduce it by £600,000, and connected them with lawyers and builders.

Ten days after the son returned from Fitzroy Falls, he gave his mother a note saying something of a 'sexual nature' had happened, but did not elaborate and asked her not to question him. Police later spoke with him. The mother continued to contact Jones afterwards, including emailing him about her son's university application.
