Supt, just increase those flames. “An evidence file has now been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and our team continues to investigate, with the support of prosecutors,” Furphy said. “We will investigate sex crimes thoroughly and appropriately as part of our commitment to making London safer for women and girls.”

While no decision has been made today (Nov. 9), it’s only a matter of time before the agency makes the final decision.

Since news of the allegations were shared, Westwood has maintained his innocence and vehemently denied the accusations.

“Tim Westwood strongly denies all allegations of inappropriate conduct,” a legal representative for Westwood said. “In a career spanning forty years, no official or unofficial complaints have ever been made against him. Tim Westwood strongly rejects all allegations of misconduct.”
