BBC Delays Tim Westwood Report Following Police Request

The Metropolitan Police asked the BBC to postpone publishing its inquiry to prevent interference with an ongoing criminal investigation.

The BBC has paused the release of its independent report on former DJ Tim Westwood's conduct at the request of the Metropolitan Police.
The report, led by barrister Gemma White KC, examines what the BBC knew about allegations of sexual misconduct against Westwood during his tenure.
Westwood, 67, faces historical sexual abuse allegations from multiple women, which he strongly denies.
The Metropolitan Police have submitted evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service, which is considering whether to pursue charges for alleged offenses between 1982 and 2016.
The BBC has spent over £3 million on the inquiry and confirmed it intends to publish the report once it is deemed appropriate to do so.
