Former Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood charged with four counts of rape https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckge5zrl69xo
I’m a fan of the BBC but it does have a habit of being a breeding ground for wrong ‘uns. Also, he’s 68 years old!

You do realise these are historical cases! I m a fan of the BBC but it does have a habit of being a breeding ground for wrong uns. Also, he s 68 years old!
Its when he was at R1 in the 90s, at the height of his fame and influence and had tons of impressionable young people hanging around.
I sadly doubt anything will get to conviction as any evidence is long gone. But hope I'm proved wrong. Not an easy case unless there's something like CCTV or texts as evidence
I have doubts whether anyone can get a fair trial, defending themselves about allegations of a crime with limited evidence, 30 years after the alleged event.
Easy to make allegations, hard to prove a negative.
Who keeps all the personal data that might prove you were somewhere else, for 30 years?

I'd tend to agree. Easy to make allegations, hard to prove a negative.

I feel like there should be overwhelming evidence before they bring these cases.

On the other hand, yes, it feels like a pile on cases like this. If true though, he deserves prosecution.
O/T was he not, in at least some part, an inspiration for Ali G?

But like many in the media fame allowed him a cess and influence over young women. So maybe he did those things maybe he did not I doubt we will ever know but I also suspect he will never be convicted as others have said.
