Former BBC Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis has pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.

He is accused of carrying out the offences between 1976 and 2008.

The allegations relate to 11 female complainants, aged between 15 and 29 at the time.

The 68-year-old appeared at Southwark Crown Court under his real name, David Patrick Griffin. His trial date was set for 14 January 2014.

It is expected to last five to six weeks.
