Former Radio One DJ Dave Lee Travis has been charged with 12 sexual offences, the Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed.
Allegations: Dave Lee Travis is facing 12 charges
The 68-year-old – real name David Patrick Griffin - has been charged with 11 counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual assault against women aged between 15 and 29 between 1977 and 2007.
A spokeswoman for the CPS said there was sufficient evidence to pursue the charges and it was in the public interest.
Travis was arrested in November last year and quickly dropped from his radio show spot on Magic AM. He is one of a number of high profile figures to be arrested under Operation Yewtree, the police investigation set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile child abuse revelations.
