CPS Considers Charges Against DJ Tim Westwood

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is considering charges against former BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood following a Metropolitan Police investigation into historic sexual abuse allegations. A file of evidence regarding offences allegedly committed between 1982 and 2016 has been submitted to the CPS by the police. Westwood, who has been interviewed under caution multiple times, has consistently denied all allegations of wrongdoing. The investigation remains ongoing, with a focus on making London safer for women and girls. The BBC has postponed the release of an independent inquiry report into Westwood's conduct due to the ongoing legal proceedings. The CPS will decide whether to proceed with charges based on the evidence's strength and public interest considerations.
