Australian authorities believe a nine-month investigation into former broadcaster Alan Jones is not over yet.
The 83-year-old will appear in court next month, facing 24 charges.
He's accused of indecently assaulting eight victims over nearly two decades.
Sydney Morning Herald reporter Kate McClymont says Alan Jones was a powerful figure in Australian media - and it took victims years to come forward.
"I think that power imbalance prevented people from coming forward in the past. As one victim said to me - I just don't want Alan Jones to get a state funeral, I want people to know what he has done before he died."
