Tim Westwood now confronts two fresh historic accusations, pushing his legal tally to 17 charges across nine women.
Tim Westwood was formally charged with two additional historic offences on Tuesday in London the Metropolitan Police said, with the alleged incidents dating to 1991 and 2004.
The development expanded an ongoing prosecution that began in October 2025 and carried significant public attention because of the profile of the accused and the number of complainants.
The additions change the scope of the case, affect the court timetable and underscore continuing activity by the Metropolitan Police in historic sexual offence investigations. Last update: 25 September 2026.
New charges and how they fit into the existing indictment
The two new allegations comprise an alleged indecent assault on a teenage girl, aged between 16 and 17, said to have occurred in the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in 1991 and a sexual assault on an 18-year-old woman alleged to have taken place in Wandsworth in May 2004.
Those offences were authorised for charge by the Crown Prosecution Service after review, bringing the total to seventeen charges linked to nine separate complainants; prosecutors originally filed fifteen counts in October 2025 involving seven women.
The earlier set of charges included four counts of rape, nine counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault, with alleged incidents spanning from 1983 to 2016. The new allegations were added following further investigative work and evidential assessment by investigators and the Crown Prosecution Service according to official statements.
Police, prosecutors and victim support
Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy said the complaints represented a significant degree of trust placed in investigators. “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. The Metropolitan Police confirmed that independent help was available through Rape Crisis’s 24/7 support line for those affected.
Deputy chief crown prosecutor Catherine Baccas stated that the Crown Prosecution Service had authorised the extra charges after a thorough evidence review. “The defendant has the right to a fair trial,” she added, stressing the legal safeguards that accompany prosecution of historic offences.
Legal timetable and defendant’s position
Westwood has denied all allegations and entered not-guilty pleas to the initial counts when they were first presented last December. He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on a date to be announced in relation to the two fresh charges. The trial on the original fifteen counts is scheduled to begin at Southwark Crown Court on 25 January 2027.
The additions to the indictment illustrate the incremental nature of historic sexual offence investigations and the procedural steps that govern charging decisions, witness support and court preparation. Authorities confirmed the cases are treated as non-recent offences, and prosecutors said each charge was authorised on evidential and public interest grounds.
