DJ Tim Westwood has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.

The Guardian and BBC report three women have claimed they were victims of opportunistic and predatory sexual behaviour, while four others have alleged they were groped by him at events.

Westwood, 64, has denied all the allegations with a spokesperson telling both publications they are completely false and denied in their entirety.

The women, who are all Black, were in their late teens or early 20s when they claim the incidents took place, with the earliest incident reportedly occurring in 1992.

The most recent is said to have happened in 2017.

They claim Westwood abused his position in the music industry to exploit them.

The women are said to have decided to come forward with their stories after anonymous allegations of inappropriate behaviour about Westwood circulated on social media in June 2020.

They share their stories in a BBC Three documentary, Tim Westwood: Abuse of Power, which is due to air on BBC Three tonight.

One victim, who was 19 at the time of Westwood’s alleged behaviour, said the DJ exposed himself in front of her.

‘I didn’t actually see him undo his trousers,’ she said. ‘What alerted me to the fact that he was exposing himself was the fact that he actually tapped me to turn around to look.’

She went on to claim she was the victim of a second episode of opportunistic and predatory sexual behaviour.

‘Someone taking advantage of my naivety and lack of confidence isn’t something that I should have to carry with shame,’ one woman told the publications.

None of the women had reported their interactions to the police and all have asked to remain anonymous.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Westwood’s rep for comment.
