DJ Travis 'an opportunist' who assaulted 'vulnerable' women

DJ Dave Lee Travis indecently assaulted a 19-year-old woman during a recording of Top Of The Pops, a court has heard.

The 68-year-old was an “opportunist” who assaulted “vulnerable” young women, Southwark Crown Court was told.

The former Radio One DJ, whose real name is David Patrick Griffin, allegedly assaulted women while working as a disc jockey, acting in pantomimes and even at the opening of a hospital radio station. In one incident at a local radio station, the jury of eight women and four men was told a woman went “ballistic” after the DJ allegedly forced his thumb into her underwear.
