Former BBC Radio 1 and Capital Xtra DJ Tim Westwood has been charged with two additional sexual offences, taking the total number of charges against him to 17.
The Metropolitan Police said the new charges relate to alleged non-recent offences involving two women in London.
Westwood, 68, is accused of indecently assaulting a girl aged 16 to 17 in Hammersmith and Fulham in 1991.
He is also accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Wandsworth in 2004.
The charges are in addition to 15 offences brought against Westwood in October 2025 involving seven women, including four counts of rape.
Westwood has previously denied multiple allegations of sexual offences, including rape and sexual assault. He pleaded not guilty to the earlier charges in December 2025.
Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy of the Metropolitan Police said the women who reported the allegations had placed their trust in the force.
“The women who have made reports have placed their trust in us, and we remain committed to providing them with all available support,” he said.
“Independent support is also available through Rape Crisis via its 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line.”
Westwood is expected to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court at a future date over the two new charges, the Met said.
A trial relating to the original 15 charges is scheduled to begin at Southwark Crown Court on 25 January 2027.
Catherine P Baccas, deputy chief crown prosecutor in the Crown Prosecution Service London, said prosecutors had authorised the two additional charges following the police investigation.
“Mr Westwood is already charged with nine counts of indecent assault, two counts of sexual assault and four counts of rape in relation to reported non-recent offences between 1983 and 2016 involving seven women,” she said.
She said the new charges concerned separate reports of alleged offences in 1991 and 2004 involving two additional women.
“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring these additional charges to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue further criminal proceedings,” Baccas said.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.”
