Detectives are considering criminal charges against former BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood following an investigation into allegations of non-recent sexual abuse spanning from 1982 to 2016. The inquiry, initiated by a joint investigation by BBC News and The Guardian in 2022, revealed claims of predatory behavior from multiple women. A file of evidence has been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service, which is currently evaluating whether to proceed with prosecution. Westwood has consistently denied the allegations, describing them as false. The complexity of the investigation is underscored by its sensitive nature and ongoing reviews by the BBC.
