After almost four weeks of hearing evidence, jurors in the trial of Dave Lee Travis have retired to consider their verdicts.
The former Radio 1 DJ is accused of sexually assaulting one woman and indecently assaulting 10 more since 1976.
Travis, who is being tried under his real name David Patrick Griffin, has maintained his innocence over the 13 counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault, telling the jury that the accusations were “nonsensical” and describing himself as “cuddly”.
Before the jury retired, Judge Anthony Leonard made it clear that their decisions should not be affected by the acquittal of soap actor Bill Roache last week.
