Former BBC Radio 1 DJ in court charged with Child Sex Offences

A former Radio 1 DJ and football stadium announcer has appeared in court charged with child sex offences.

Mark Page, 62, faces two counts of attempting to incite or cause a girl to engage in sexual activity.

Two further charges allege he arranged or facilitated sexual exploitation in the Philippines.

Following a hearing at Teesside Magistrates’ Court on Monday Page was bailed and the case adjourned to 8 March.

Page, of Rowallane Gardens, Ingleby Barwick, worked for Radio 1 in the 1980s and had also been a stadium announcer for Middlesbrough FC.

The offences he is charged with were said to have occurred in 2016.

Mr Page was not required to enter a plea and will next appear at Teesside Crown Court.
