BBC admits it received Tim Westwood sexual misconduct complaint
Sexual misconduct claims against former Radio 1 DJ Westwood were made in April, and Tim Davie, the BBC director-general, branded the allegations “shocking”, but stated that a records check at the broadcaster revealed “no evidence of complaints”.
A historic complaint against Westwood that was referred to the police has now been “found on file” by the BBC, raising questions over why the corporation was initially unaware of this evidence within its own records.
It is understood that an internal probe uncovered the historic claim following Mr Davie’s comments, and further investigation will seek to establish why this complaint was not flagged to BBC leadership before the public announcement in April, and what action was taken at the time the complaint was made.
