| Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning admits abusing boys | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning has pleaded guilty to a string of historical sex offences against boys. | |
| The 73-year-old admitted 29 charges of abuse against boys aged between nine and 16, at Southwark Crown Court. | |
| He denied 12 further charges and will face a trial beginning on 24 November at the same London court. | |
| Denning, of Basildon in Essex, was charged as part of Operation Yewtree, which was set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal. | |
| The offences Denning admitted were committed between 1967 and 1984. | |
| He was remanded in custody until his trial, which is expected to last up to two weeks. | |
| Denning was first arrested by Yewtree detectives in June last year. | |
| He was one of the original line-up on BBC Radio 1 when the station launched in 1967. | |
| He was also the first announcer heard on BBC Two when it took to the air in 1964. |
