Former BBC Radio One DJ Tim Westwood, who denies multiple sex offences including rape and sexual assault, will next appear in court in December.
The 68-year-old is accused of sex offences against seven women dating back to 1983, including three indecent assaults at the BBC studios in the 1990s.
The former Capital Xtra DJ was excused from attending a further case management hearing at Southwark Crown Court today (Monday.)
The hearing was set to facilitate disclosure between the prosecution and Westwood’s defence team.
His trial is set to begin on January 25 next year, and Westwood will next appear at a pre-trial review on December 14.
Westwood is accused of four indecent assaults in the 1980s in London, as well as the three indecent assaults at the BBC in the 1990s.
The defendant is also alleged to have raped a woman in a hotel in 1996.
Westwood is further accused of two indecent assaults and one count of rape from the early 2000s at a London address, and two counts of rape at a London address in the 2010s.
He is also alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman at a nightclub in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 2010.
Westwood, who has been granted bail on the condition he does not contact the complainants, has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
