Tim Westwood now faces two more charges after the Metropolitan Police Service issued them on 22 September 2026. The 68-year-old from Westminster now faces 17 charges involving nine women.
Those new allegations add to charges brought in October 2025 relating to seven women. Westwood is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court at a future date over the latest charges, while the original 15 charges remain set for trial at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, 25 January 2027.
Andy Furphy statement
Andy Furphy, a Detective Superintendent from the Metropolitan Police Service, said: "The women who have made reports have placed their trust in us, and we remain committed to providing them with all available support." He added: "Independent support is also available through Rape Crisis via its 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line."
The police also urged responsible reporting in line with guidance issued by the Attorney General's Office. That means the case is moving through two court tracks at once: the original 15 charges are already tied to a trial date, while the extra charges now have their own appearance before Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Westminster Magistrates' Court
The latest charges raise the count against Westwood from the original 15 to 17, and they extend the case from seven women named in the October 2025 charges to nine women in total. For readers following the case, the practical takeaway is straightforward: the next court appearance is at Westminster Magistrates' Court, and the main trial on the earlier charges is still scheduled to start in Southwark on 25 January 2027.
What remains central is the scale of the file now before the courts. The new charges sit alongside the earlier ones, and the police statement points both to support for the reporting women and to the need for careful reporting as the case continues.
