Radio DJ Neil 'Dr' Fox is due to stand trial accused of a string of sex offences involving six women.

Mr Fox, from Fulham, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday morning (July 23) dressed in a dark blue suit and blue tie.

He took notes during the administrative hearing and was then released on unconditional bail until a pre-trial review on October 2.

The 53-year-old, who is due to stand trial in front of a bench of magistrates on November 5, denies nine offences against six complainants, who were aged between 14 and 36 at the time of the alleged offences, which are said to have taken place between 1991 and 2014.

The court was told that three of the six women only came forward with their claims after being approached by the police.

Jonathan Caplan QC said: "There are six complainants, three of them did not approach the police at all. In fact, the police approached three of the complainants."

He raised the issue, asking for disclosure of the conversations that had taken place between detectives and these three women.

The court also heard that witnesses would be called to give evidence via videolink from Australia, and that the complainants would be giving evidence from behind screens.

The married father-of-three denies seven counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual touching without consent.

Mr Fox, who rose to fame presenting the chart show on Capitol Radio and was a judge on Pop Idol between 2001 and 2003, was first arrested in September last year, then again in December and March.
