DJ Tim Westwood denies two more sexual offences
Tim Westwood has denied two further sexual offence charges at Southwark Crown Court, bringing the total he denies to 17. The allegations concern nine women and span 1983 to 2016; Westwood’s pleas are not findings of guilt.

The charges include allegations of rape and sexual assault in London and elsewhere, including at a nightclub and a music festival. Westwood is on conditional bail, with a seven-week trial due to begin on 27 January.
