He appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday.

Former DJ Tim Westwood has denied two additional sex offences dating back to 1991 and 2004.

His latest not guilty pleas mean he now denies a total of 17 charges against nine women between 1983 and 2016.

At Southwark Crown Court on Thursday, the 69-year-old pleaded not guilty to indecently assaulting a teenage girl aged 16 or 17 in Hammersmith and Fulham, west London, in 1991.

The former BBC Radio 1 and Capital Xtra DJ also denied sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Wandsworth, south London, in May 2004.

The DJ, of Fitzrovia, in London’s West End, was charged in October last year with offences against seven women, which he denies.

He is accused of four indecent assaults in the 1980s in London, as well as three indecent assaults at the BBC in the 1990s.

The defendant is also alleged to have raped a woman in a hotel in 1996.

Westwood is further accused of two indecent assaults and one count of rape from the early 2000s at a London address, and two counts of rape at a London address in the 2010s.

He is also alleged to have committed a sexual assault at a nightclub in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 2010, and at a London music festival in 2016.

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