Alan Jones was at his luxury Circular Quay apartment yesterday morning when Child Abuse Squad detectives arrived to arrest him.

For nine months, police had been conducting a top secret investigation. Now, they’ve charged Jones with 24 offences, involving eight victims.

Among the charges are 11 of aggravated indecent assault where the victim was under the authority of the offender.

His arrest is the latest chapter in the downfall of one of Australia's most controversial figures, a man described by one of his alleged victims as being “more powerful than the prime minister”.

Today, investigative reporter and author of Jones Town: The Power and Myth of Alan Jones Chris Masters on the downfall of one of Australia’s most powerful men and what it tells us about the nature of power in this country.
