Radio DJ Neil 'Dr' Fox to stand trial in November for alleged sex offences

Radio presenter Neil Fox is due to stand trial accused of a string of sex offences against six victims, three of who were under the age of 16 at the time.

Fox, 53, who is currently suspended from Magic FM pending enquiries, is accused of nine offences between 1991 and 2014.

The DJ, also known as Dr Fox, is accused of three counts of indecent assault against three underage girls as well as a further four counts of indent assault and two sexual assaults against three female victims.

He denies all the allegations against him.

Appearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, Fox was told by Judge Riddle he will stand trial in November to face the charges.

There will also be further preliminary hearings on 23 July and 2 October. His unconditional bail was also renewed by the judge.

Fox, a former Capital FM DJ and judge on ITV's Pop Idol, was not arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, the inquiry investigating allegations of historic sexual abuse set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
