According to "BBC," UK investigators recently submitted evidence to prosecutors who will determine whether or not to bring charges against Tim Westwood.

It's no secret that Diddy has just begun what will likely be a long and arduous legal battle. The Bad Boy founder was arrested in September on charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He could face a hefty prison sentence if he's found guilty. He's currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting a trial that's expected to begin in May of next year.

In addition to this, he's facing several lawsuits from women and men accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and more. He's far from the only prominent artist facing disturbing allegations these days, however. British DJ Tim Westwood was also accused of sexual misconduct by various women in 2022. According to BBC, UK investigators recently submitted evidence to prosecutors who will now determine whether or not to bring charges against him.

“A file of evidence has now been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and our team continues to make enquiries, with support from prosecutors,” Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy explained. “We will thoroughly and properly investigate sexual [offenses] as part of our commitment to making London safer for women and girls.”

A CPS spokesperson was also able to confirm they “received the Metropolitan Police Service regarding allegations of non-recent sexual [offenses] allegedly committed by a man in his 60s.” The Met Police also issued a statement, revealing that “a man in his 60’s has been interviewed under caution on four separate occasions. The offences are alleged to have occurred in London between 1982 and 2016”. What do you think of Tim Westwood sparking Diddy comparisons?
