The 62-year-old was charged with two counts of administering a stupefying or overpowering drug with intent, contrary to Section 22 of the Offences against the Person Act 1861.
Worboys was also charged with two counts of administering a substance with intent, contrary to Section 61 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
