Rare card · No. 37059

Timothy Westwood (born 3 October 1957), often known professionally simply as Westwood, is a British DJ and presenter. He was described by The Guardian in 2022 as "a veteran of the hip-hop scene whose opinions have been able to make or break upcoming artists for more than 30 years". He hosted the Radio 1 rap show and presented the MTV UK show Pimp My Ride UK. In 2013, he left Radio 1 and 1Xtra after nearly twenty years and returned to Capital Radio. Investigations by the BBC and The Guardian into Westwood's sexual conduct found seven women who accused Westwood of sexual misconduct between 1992 and 2017, as described in the 2022 BBC Three documentary Tim Westwood: Abuse of Power. In October 2025 he was charged with committing multiple sexual offences between 1983 and 2016, and in September 2026 with two earlier offences, in 1991 and 2004; he is to be tried on a total of seventeen charges in January 2027.
