Witnesses deny seeing Jones kiss famous athlete

A well-known athlete "froze in time" when kissed publicly by Alan Jones but a trio of attendees deny seeing anything untoward.

The sports star has accused the retired radio king of kissing him without consent more than a decade ago at a sports function attended by hundreds of people.

Testifying in the conservative broadcaster's fight against 22 charges of indecent assault and sexual touching without consent, the athlete told a Sydney court the unwanted kiss left him shocked and embarrassed.

"I think I froze at that time," he said during his four days in the witness box.

"I was in disbelief ... there's no reason to suggest why in this public situation you'd kiss someone this way."

But three people who attended the event have told the court they didn't witness the alleged offence.

One attendee described Jones as "very professional" on the night in question and said he didn't see any real engagement or familiarity between the then-radio host and the athlete.

"I didn't see them have any contact with each other," he testified on Monday.

Another attendee told the court he didn't have a specific recollection of the athlete being present at the event and he doesn't believe he saw him being kissed by Sydney's long-time king of the airwaves.

He agreed he told police he hadn't seen anything untoward at the function and he would remember if he had.

Similarly, a politician previously told the court he hadn't seen Jones behave inappropriately towards anyone at the event.

The witnesses acknowledged they hadn't been closely monitoring Jones and the athlete the entire night, with one telling the court he believes he left before the event concluded.

Jones, who coached the Wallabies and Balmain Tigers before his radio career took off, has denied the alleged kiss occurred and his lawyer has painstakingly pointed out inconsistencies in the athlete's statements about where they were positioned.

The sportsman has stood by his account, insisting: "I know the kiss happened because I can't get it out of my memory."
