Jones was arrested at his Circular Quay home at 7.45am on Monday.
He was charged with 24 offences, dating between 2001 and 2019, including 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault under authority, nine counts of assault with an act of indecency and two counts of common assault.
NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Michael Fitzgerald told media the youngest of Jones’ alleged victims was aged 17 at the time the alleged offence took place.
The Herald and the Age newspapers in recent months published allegations from a number of young men that they had been indecently assaulted by Jones.
Fitzgerald confirmed reports published in Nine newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age resulted in some alleged victims coming forward to police.
Jones has strenuously denied all allegations.
He has been granted conditional bail and will appear in Downing Centre Local Court on December 18.
