Reg Traviss Pleads Not Guilty: Amy Winehouse Ex Accused Of Rape

Amy Winehouse's former boyfriend Reg Traviss has pleaded not guilty to rape. Traviss, 35, of Devonshire Street, Marylebone, has been accused of two counts of rape, both on December 31, 2011. He has denied both of them. The victim has alleged that she had been out drinking and "remembers Mr Traviss having sex with her," according to BBC News. He has been released on bail and has been told that he will face a three-day trial on December 10, 2012.

Traviss was Amy Winehouse's boyfriend at the time of her death last year. Amy was found dead at her home in Camden last July. She was aged 27. In the year following her death, her father, Mitch Winehouse has worked, in collaboration with others, to set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation. In a statement on the charity's website, Mitch's statement reads "The Amy Winehouse Foundation has been set up in Amy's memory to support charitable activities in both the UK and abroad that provide help, support or care for young people, especially those who are in need by reason of ill health, disability, ?nancial disadvantage or addiction."

Reg Traviss is not the only ex of Amy's to have found themselves in the headlines recently. Her former partner Blake Fielder-Civil was recently rushed to hospital where he was placed under a medically-induced coma. He was eventually brought out of the coma and has now recovered. Mitch Winehouse asked for Amy's fans to pray for him, despite their differences in the past. He has not yet publicly commented on the charges brought about Reg Traviss.
