Tim Westwood arrived at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday facing fresh charges of indecently assaulting a teenage girl and sexually assaulting a woman.
The Metropolitan Police said the former BBC Radio 1 DJ is accused of indecently assaulting a girl aged 16 or 17 in Hammersmith and Fulham in 1991. He is also accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Wandsworth in May 2004.
Total of 17 charges
The 69-year-old now faces a total of 17 charges involving nine women. The new allegations add to nine counts of indecent assault, two counts of sexual assault and four counts of rape relating to alleged offences between 1983 and 2016.
These charges follow those brought against Westwood in October 2025, which included four counts of rape involving seven women. Westwood has previously denied multiple sex offences, including rape and sexual assault, and pleaded not guilty to earlier charges last December.
Trial set for January
He has entered not guilty pleas to all counts, and his trial is due to start in January. He is currently on bail.
Westwood first presented regularly on Capital FM from 1987 until 1994 before moving to BBC Radio 1 for his rap show. He also presented Radio 1Xtra's weekday drivetime show from 2009 until 2012.
He left the BBC in 2013 after nearly two decades and rejoined Capital FM via sister station Capital Xtra. He stepped down from his Capital radio show in April 2022.
