Dave Lee Travis trial: BBC 'ignored woman's complaint'

A woman who claims she was assaulted by DJ Dave Lee Travis has told a court she was not listened to by the BBC.

She said she complained to the BBC, her ex-employer, after claims about Jimmy Savile emerged, but was told that it did not take such calls.

The woman told Southwark Crown Court that Mr Travis put his hand inside her knickers when she was aged 17 while presenting his Radio 1 show in the mid-1970s.

Mr Travis denies 13 counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.
