LA music industry legend Rodney Bingenheimer accused of sexually assaulting six women when they were minors

Rodney Bingenheimer.

Los Angeles music industry legend Rodney Bingenheimer is being accused of sexually assaulting six women - including musician Jane Wiedlin - when they were teenagers. 

The allegations against Bingenheimer, who presented hugely popular (and hugely influential) KROQ radio show Rodney on the Roq, and owned infamous LA nightclub Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco, are collated in an exclusive Rolling Stone article.

Bingenheimer's club, located at 7561 Sunset Boulevard on the Sunset Strip, was a favourite haunt of rock stars in the 1970s, with Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Who, The Monkees, Marc Bolan and Iggy Pop among those who regularly dropped by when in the city, having known the owner as one of America's most influential and important 'taste makers'. Partly because of its rock star clientele, the club was equally well-known for its popularity with teenage girls, with the likes of Lori Mattix and Sable Starr becoming famous in their own right for their friendships with iconic rock stars.
