She first met him at his club nights at the Arch in Vauxhall in 1990. She and her friends were big fans of the DJ's hip-hop show on Capital radio, and they would often call the programme for a shout-out.

They became regulars at his club night. "Tim Westwood would always see us. He'd let us in for free," says Esther. "Sometimes he'd come and check on us: 'Ah are you guys enjoying yourselves?' And that's how it started."

She says the DJ knew how young she was because he had asked her her age.

"He didn't look shocked or anything," she says. When she asked him if she could continue coming, he said, "Sure you can."

"I think we exchanged numbers and he just started, 'Oh are you coming tonight, you know, so I can leave your name at the door.' And then I'd say it was a couple of months after that he asked to meet up with me at Hammersmith Station."

She says the DJ met her in west London and drove her to a flat. He offered her a drink but she said she just wanted a juice. They sat and talked - and then he kissed her.

"I was like, OK, I don't have a problem with that. And then, it progressed from there. We had sex."

This would not be the only time. The DJ, she says, would call her at home - after 18:00 because he knew her mum worked nights - and they would arrange to meet.

"I never gave consent to sex, but I never said no either so, I just went along with it," she says.

Esther, who described herself as a "bit of a troubled teen", says she broke off contact with the DJ when she was 16, and realised the relationship didn't feel right.

She says it felt like a "dirty little secret".

"I kind of thought it was normal but that's because I didn't understand the gravity of the situation. It wasn't a relationship and it wasn't about love, it was just a thing, and a thing you couldn't discuss with anybody."

She says it feels like the DJ had groomed her, and describes Mr Westwood as a "predator", and herself as "prey".

She didn't tell anyone, she says, because she felt she would "get the blame, not him… because I'm no-one".

“Tim Westwood accused of multiple counts of rape & pedophilia over the past 3 decades” at least has all the facts to it

What's up with these interviewer types being pedos

Awful s***

The biggest radio DJ in UK hip-hop, a legend in the scene, enabled so many artists to be where they are today.

Will be interesting to see the reaction to this.

He did it for sure

Ngl all the older popular white interviewer djs look like some variant of pedophile

Smh old creep ass clown

Disgusting

Saw his face ONE time and knew he was problematic

He even asked her age. COME THE F*** ON.

Everyone believes this tbh

It's crazy how you know someones a weird creep just by looking at them

Lock him up if true
