Tim Westwood charged with two more sexual offences

Former BBC Radio 1 and Capital Xtra DJ Tim Westwood has been charged with two more offences, the Metropolitan Police has said.

The charges are an alleged indecent assault against a teenage girl aged 16 to 17 in Hammersmith and Fulham in 1991 and the alleged sexual assault of an 18-year-old woman in Wandsworth in 2004.

These charges are in addition to those brought against Westwood, 68, in October 2025 relating to seven women, which include four counts of rape.

Westwood has previously denied multiple sex offences, including rape and sexual assault, and pleaded not guilty to earlier charges last December.

Westwood is now facing a total of 17 charges involving nine women.

Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, from the Metropolitan Police Service, said: "The women who have made reports have placed their trust in us, and we remain committed to providing them with all available support.

"Independent support is also available through Rape Crisis via its 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line."

Westwood is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court at a future date in relation to the two additional charges, the Met Police said.

A trial relating to the original 15 charges is scheduled to begin at Southwark Crown Court on 25 January 2027.
