Tim Westwood has been charged with four counts of rape, nine counts of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault. 

The charges relate to seven different women during a period from 1983 to 2016, the Metropolitan Police said. 

The youngest was aged 17 at the time of the alleged assault. 

The 68-year-old former BBC Radio 1 DJ will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday, 10 November. 

Police have said the former broadcaster is alleged to have indecently assaulted a 17-year-old girl in the Fulham area of London in 1983. 

He is also accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in the Vauxhall area of London in 1986, as well as raping and sexually assaulting a woman, aged between 17 and 18, in London between 1995 and 1996. 

Westwood is alleged to have raped and sexually assaulted a woman aged 17 to 18 between 2000 and 2001 and raped a woman in her 20s in 2010 - with the alleged offences also reported to have taken place in London. 

He is further accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s in Stroud, Gloucestershire, in 2010 and sexually assaulting another woman in her 20s in the Finchley area of London in 2016. 

Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, from the Metropolitan Police Service, said: "It takes courage to come forward and report allegations of this nature. The women who have done so have put their trust in us and we continue to provide them with all available support. 

"Our investigation remains open and we'd encourage anyone who has been impacted by this case, or anyone with information, to come forward and speak with us." 

Westwood has previously denied all allegations of sexual misconduct made against him.
