Alan Jones, once the biggest name in Sydney media, is "anxious to have his day in court".
He said as much at his first appearance at Sydney's Local Court in December 2024, telling a throng of media outside the court he would be defending "baseless" charges of indecent assault and sexual touching.
This week again, his lawyers told pre-trial hearings their client was "anxious" to get started.
