Jurors in the trial of veteran DJ Dave Lee Travis have retired to consider their verdicts.

The former Top Of The Pops presenter is charged with indecently assaulting 10 women and sexually assaulting another in alleged incidents dating back to 1976.

The trial at London's Southwark Crown Court has heard that Travis,68, is alleged to have been an "opportunist" who assaulted "vulnerable" young woman.

He is charged with 13 counts of indecent assault dating between 1976 and 2002, and one count of sexual assault in 2008.
