The women, who were in their

described their experiences to the
Guardian and the BBC as part of a
joint investigation into the former
BBC Radio 1 DJ.

The earliest alleged incident took place in 1992;
the most recent in 2017.

One of the women said: “Someone taking
advantage of my naivety and lack of
confidence isn’t something that I
should have to carry with shame.”

Westwood has strenuously denied all
the allegations. A spokesperson said they
were completely false and denied in their entirety.]

He is like Jimmy Saville was

Not intended to be a defence of him by ANY means, what he's accused of is disgusting, but I think it somewhat trivialises Saville's crimes to say this. Saville's victims were children.

From the above it sounds like a lot of coercion was involved here. Actually reminds me more of something like Weinstein. He will claim they "consented" but he's been manipulating and abusing his position of perceived authority.
