Grace Tame has called on her followers to refrain from commenting on Alan Jones before his trial, to avoid prejudicing the case.
The Aussie advocate for survivors of sexual assault had been silent after Jones was charged with 26 offences involving nine alleged victims this week.
Now Tame, aged 29, sensa 69 has revealed why she's remaining tight-lipped.
On Tuesday she took to social media to share an opinion piece from Crikey News headlined: 'If you want to see Alan Jones tried fairly, shut up!'
The piece, which Tame appeared to endorse, said it was important to preserve the presumption of innocence for Jones to avoid prejudicing the jurors, otherwise the trial might have to be postponed or even aborted.
'The courts view this kind of thing with great disdain and not a little frustration,' it said.
Jones, 83, was arrested on Monday morning at his Circular Quay apartment and taken to Day Street Police Station in the Sydney CBD after detectives searched his home.
His charges included 11 counts of aggravated indecent assault - victim under authority of offender, nine counts of assault with act of indecency, two counts of sexually touch another person without consent, two counts of common assault.

The youngest of the alleged victims was 17-years-old at the time, while another is a former Olympic athlete.
On Tuesday morning, police revealed Jones had been laid with an additional two charges of assault with act of indecency relating to a ninth alleged victim, bringing the total number of charges he faces to 26.
Also on Tuesday, former 2GB employees revealed how Jones was 'held up as a god' at the high-profile Sydney radio station and regarded as 'untouchable'.
Jones was the breakfast host between 2002 and 2020 with one staff member telling Daily Mail Australia there was a 'culture of fear' with staff constantly 'walking on eggshells'.
Tame is also a distance runner with hopes of going to the Olympics

Tame has worked to raise awareness about child sexual abuse unrelated to the allegations in the Jones case.
She was groomed and sexually assaulted by her 58-year-old teacher Nicolaas Bester at the age of 15 when she was a student at St Michael's Collegiate Girls' School in Hobart.
Bester was subsequently convicted and jailed.
In 2021, Tame was named Australian of the Year for her activism.
She is the founder of the Grace Tame Foundation, which helps to fund initiatives to prevent and respond to sexual abuse of children.
Tame is also a distance runner - this week she revealed she is running a whopping 100km-per-week and admitted she would 'love to go to the Olympics'.
She zoomed her way around the course at the Great Ocean Road Running Festival in May to become the first female competitor across the finish line in the 60km ultra-marathon.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Tame for comment.
