Dj Tim Westwood Accused Of Sexual Assault

The women, who are all black and do not know one another, were aged in their late teens or early 20s when they claim they were set upon by Westwood.

Three of the women, aged 17, 19 and 20 at the time, accuse Westwood of ‘opportunistic and predatory sexual behavior’ after agreeing to meet with him. Two of them, who had aspirations of working within the music industry, claim they agreed to meet Westwood in London to discuss music before he ‘initiated unwanted and unexpected sex’. 

One accuser claims Westwood drove her to a flat in central London and initiated unwanted sex when she was 19 and he was 53. She told the BBC she felt ‘completely powerless’ and ‘very, very scared’ when he allegedly exposed his genitals to her in a car’. 

Another woman, who was 17 at the time, alleges Westwood, then aged in his mid-thirties, also subjected her to unwanted sex. Using the alias Tamara, she claimed the encounter took place after giving Westwood a demo of her own work while she was a member of an R&B group.

‘Within the recording industry and the black community, despite him being a white man, he had absolute power. He could make or break your career’, she said. 

But once they arrived at a London flat, she claims Westwood, without saying anything, pulled down her trousers and underwear before performing oral sex on her.
