DJ Neil Fox denies sex offence charges


Disc Jockey Neil Fox has denied sex offences over a period spanning more than two decades and involving six woman.


The 53-year-old Magic presenter, known as Dr Fox, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London and spoke only to confirm his name and address, and indicate his pleas.


Three of the nine offences he is charged with relate to three juveniles, and are alleged to have taken place between 1991 and 1996, one at Chessington World Of Adventures theme park.


The other three complainants were allegedly attacked by the DJ between 2003 and 2014.


One woman claims that she was repeatedly assaulted at the Capital Radio studios in London's Leicester Square.


Fox is charged with seven counts of indecent assault and two charges of sexual touching, against the six woman who were aged between 14 years old and 36 years old at the time.


Fox, from Fulham, southwest London, was first arrested in September last year, then again in December and last month.


Dressed in a dark pinstripe suit, white shirt and blue tie, he listened intently during the hearing as his wife Vicky sat in the public gallery.
