Dave Lee Travis charged with indecent assault | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis has been charged with one count of indecent assault under Operation Yewtree. | |
The 68-year-old is alleged to have assaulted a woman, who was over the age of 16, in January 1995. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service said last month it had authorised police to charge him with the alleged offence. | |
The fresh charge comes after Mr Travis was cleared of 12 counts of indecent assault in February. He faces a retrial on two outstanding charges. | |
'Nightmare continuing' | |
The jury at Southwark Crown Court had been unable to reach verdicts on the charges of indecent and sexual assault. | |
They relate to an allegation of indecent assault against a woman in the early 1990s along with an alleged sexual assault on a journalist in 2008. | |
When the CPS announced on 28 March that Mr Travis would face a further charge, he said: "It's been a bit of a nightmare. | |
"And the only thing I want to say is this: The nightmare is continuing." | |
Scotland Yard said Mr Travis, from Buckinghamshire, was due to appear on bail at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 24 April. |
