CPS Reviews Charges Against DJ Tim Westwood for Historic Sexual Abuse

The Crown Prosecution Service is evaluating evidence submitted by the Metropolitan Police regarding allegations against the former BBC Radio 1 DJ spanning from 1982 to 2016.

The Metropolitan Police have submitted a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) concerning allegations of non-recent sexual abuse by Tim Westwood.
Westwood, who has denied all allegations, has been interviewed under caution by police on four occasions as part of the investigation.
The allegations, initially brought to light by a joint investigation by the BBC and The Guardian in 2022, span a period when Westwood was a prominent figure in the music industry.
The BBC has conducted an independent review of Westwood's tenure at the corporation, but its publication has been delayed due to ongoing legal considerations.
The CPS will now decide whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute Westwood, with no timeline given for this decision.
