Police submit file to CPS over Tim Westwood sexual abuse allegations

Met inquiry looking into historical accusations against former Radio 1 hip-hop DJ

Prosecutors are considering bringing charges against the former Radio 1 hip-hop DJ Tim Westwood, after detectives investigating allegations of non-recent sexual abuse submitted a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

The criminal inquiries began after a joint investigation by the Guardian and BBC News in 2022 heard from women who accused the DJ of sexual misconduct and misusing his position in the music industry to take advantage of them.
