The charges related to seven women, with the allegations spanning from 1983 to 2016.
Westwood is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 11 November.
Lionel Idan, Chief Crown Prosecutor, said, “Our prosecutors have established that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.
“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds everyone that criminal proceedings are active, and the defendant has the right to a fair trial.
“It is extremely important that there be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
