Tim Westwood Pleads Not Guilty to Two More Charges

By Miles Carter, November 13, 2026

Tim Westwood pleaded not guilty on Nov 12, 2026, to two additional sexual offence charges at Southwark Crown Court, the BBC reported. The Guardian also reported the hearing. The BBC identified him as a former BBC Radio 1 and Capital Xtra DJ.

The BBC said he pleaded not guilty to indecently assaulting a teenage girl aged 16 or 17 in Hammersmith and Fulham, west London, in 1991. At the same hearing, the BBC said, he denied sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Wandsworth, south London, in May 2004. Those are allegations, and he has pleaded not guilty to both counts.

The BBC said the latest not guilty pleas mean he now denies a total of 17 charges concerning allegations by nine women between 1983 and 2016. The Guardian reported the same totals and said he has entered not guilty pleas to all counts.

The Metropolitan Police announced the two additional charges on Sept 22, 2026. The Met said those charges were in addition to charges brought against him in October 2025 relating to seven women. The BBC, in its Nov 12 report, said he was charged in October 2025 with offences against seven women. The Sept 22 Met statement said that, with the two new charges added, he was then facing a total of 17 charges involving nine women.

Westwood has been granted conditional bail and is due to face a seven-week trial at Southwark Crown Court starting on Jan 27, 2027, the BBC reported. The Guardian reported that he was granted conditional bail and is due to face trial for all 17 charges at the same court in January. KAZI has more court coverage.
