Former BBC DJ faces potential charges after long-running investigation

The Crown Prosecution Service got new case-files about former BBC Radio 1 hip-hop presenter Tim Westwood (whoʼs been working in radio since early 80s)

Det-Supt Andy Furphyʼs team sent evidence to prosecutors and stated: “Our team works with CPS support; making London safer for women and girls is our main goal“

The investigation covers reported events from the eighties through mid-2010s in London. Police talked to Westwood (now in his late-60s) four times under caution‚ while he strongly denies any wrong-doing

The Met Police made this statement: “Our detectives look into non-recent offence reports about a man in his 60s; the suspect was interviewed multiple times“ The BBC cant finish its own research due to on-going police work

We can confirm we received a file from the Metropolitan Police Service regarding allegations of non-recent sexual offences allegedly committed by a man in his 60s

CPS spokesperson statement

The Metʼs team keeps working on the case while Westwood maintains his innocence against all claims (which span over 30 years of his broadcasting career)
