Tim Westwood denies two more sex offence charges

Former Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood has denied two further sex offence charges, bringing the total number of allegations he disputes to 17. The new pleas, entered at Southwark Crown Court, relate to alleged incidents in 1991 and 2004.

Westwood, 69, pleaded not guilty to indecently assaulting a teenage girl in Hammersmith and Fulham, west London, in 1991. He also denied sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Wandsworth, south London, in May 2004. These latest charges mean he now denies accusations made by nine women, spanning from 1983 to 2016.

Previous Charges

The DJ, who resides in Fitzrovia, central London, was initially charged in October last year with offences against seven women. These include allegations of four indecent assaults in London during the 1980s, and three indecent assaults at the BBC in the 1990s. He is also accused of rape in 1996.

Further accusations involve two indecent assaults and one count of rape from the early 2000s at a London address. He also faces two counts of rape alleged to have occurred at a London address in the 2010s. An alleged sexual assault at a nightclub in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 2010, and another at a London music festival in 2016, are also part of the charges he denies.

Trial Date Set

Westwood has entered not guilty pleas to all counts. He is scheduled to face trial at Southwark Crown Court in January.
