    LOS ANGELES — Six women have now accused famed L.A. DJ Rodney Bingenheimer of sexually assaulting them when they were minors, according to court documents and media reports.

    Among the accusers is Jane Wiedlin, who co-founded the new wave group the Go-Go's in 1978. When she was 15, Wiedlin says, she frequently sneaked out of her parents' home to visit a West Hollywood nightclub notorious for being a hot spot for underage girls and rock star patrons: Bingenheimer's English Disco.

    It was on one of these nights, around 1974, that Wiedlin alleges Bingenheimer sexually assaulted her in a back room.
