Why it worked

Summary

This video discusses the accusations against Alan Jones, a prominent media figure, for indecent assault. It highlights how he allegedly abused minors for decades and was protected by influential people in politics and media, suggesting this protection allowed him to avoid prosecution and jail time.

Original caption

Alan Jones, after possibly the most commercially successful career in Australian media history, is finally in court to face 22 charges of indecent assault. What remains to be seen is if any of the high-profile people known to be part of his inner circle, those who have written his character references and publicly supported him, will so stand trial for their role in his crimes. The extent of the abuse was enabled by the circle he ran in, which protected him at the highest levels and shielded him from all public accountability.
