The former BBC Radio 1 DJ, 69, is accused of indecently assaulting a teenage girl aged 16 or 17 years old in Hammersmith and Fulham in 1991, the Metropolitan Police said.
Westwood is also accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in Wandsworth in May 2004.
The new charges are in addition to the nine counts of indecent assault, two counts of sexual assault and four counts of rape in relation to alleged offences between 1983 and 2016 involving seven women.
He has entered not guilty pleas to all counts and his trial is due to start in January. He is currently on bail.
Westwood first regularly on Capital FM from 1987 until 1994 before moving over to BBC Radio 1 for his new rap show, which he launched alongside Puff Daddy and the Notorious B.I.G. via a live concert. His Radio 1 Rap Show became the top ranked hip hop show in the UK.
He also presented Radio 1Xtra’s weekday drivetime show from 2009 until 2012. He left the BBC in 2013 after nearly two decades and rejoined Capital FM via sister station Capital Xtra. He stepped down from his Capital radio show in April 2022.
