NSW Police have arrested veteran broadcaster Alan Jones following an investigation into alleged indecent assault and sexual touching offences spanning two decades.

Child Abuse Squad detectives executed a warrant at the 83-year-old’s luxury Sydney apartment at Circular Quay about 7:45am (local time) on Monday.

NSW Police said in a statement the State Crime Command’s Child Abuse Squad established Strike Force Bonnefin in March to investigate a number of alleged indecent assaults and sexual touching incidents between 2001 and 2019.

A search warrant is continuing.

More to come.
