Former BBC Radio 1 presenter Dave Lee Travis has appeared in court, charged with 11 counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.
The allegations date from 1977 to 2007 and relate to nine female complainants aged between 15 and 29 at the time.
Arriving at Westminster Magistrates' Court, the 68-year-old, whose real name is David Patrick Griffin, said he could not comment on the case against him.
Mr Travis, of Mentmore, Bucks, denies any wrongdoing.
He spoke in court only to confirm his name, address and date of birth.
Mr Travis, a Radio 1 DJ between 1968 and 1993, had been questioned by police as part of Operation Yewtree, an investigation into historical claims of sexual offences linked to the entertainment industry.
He was first arrested in November 2012 and released on bail. He was rearrested in March and questioned about further allegations before being charged earlier in August.
Operation Yewtree was launched in the wake of sexual offence allegations against ex-TV presenter and Radio 1 DJ Jimmy Savile.
The operation has three strands. One is looking specifically at the actions of Savile and the second strand concerns allegations of sexual offences against "Savile and others".
Mr Travis's arrest falls within a third strand, relating to allegations against other people unconnected to the Savile investigation.
