An investigation uncovered allegations of predatory sexual behaviour and touching against the star.
BBC director general Tim Davie has described sexual misconduct claims made against former Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood as "appalling", calling for anyone else with evidence to come forward.
He hosted shows on Radio 1 and 1Xtra from 1994 to 2013 and currently presents a weekly slot on Capital Xtra. "I've asked and we've looked at our records and we've seen no evidence," he said. "If something like this were raised or anything comes up, we investigate it fully. And I would hope we were doing that in that time [when Westwood worked for the BBC] as well.
"I make the point more generally - if people have got evidence of wrongdoing, absolutely. We need to bring it forward."
