Ex-Radio One DJ Tim Westwood Granted Bail After Court Appearance on Rape Charges
- On Monday, November 10, 2025, former BBC Radio One DJ Tim Westwood appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court wearing a dark grey shirt and was granted conditional bail.
- Westwood faces charges of four counts of rape, nine counts of indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault after a 2022 joint investigation by The Guardian and BBC.
- Allegations concern offences against seven women spanning 1983 to 2016, including a 1996 rape at a London hotel and a 2010 assault at a nightclub in Stroud, Gloucestershire; police say Westwood attended five voluntary interviews.
- He was not required to enter pleas after returning to the UK last week, and his case will next be heard at Southwark Crown Court on December 8.
- The BBC Board apologised after a review found it `did not take adequate action` and six women spoke in the BBC Three documentary Abuse of Power, while Westwood stepped down from Capital Xtra shortly after.
