A well-known actor who had a role in the popular Netflix series, Sex Education, has been found guilty by a British court of committing 26 sex offenses. These offenses include acts against two students whom he taught acting classes to, as well as children. It is important to note that this story contains references to child sexual assault, and may be disturbing for some readers.
According to reports from the BBC, prosecutors described Alexander Westwood as a "manipulative and predatory" individual who had a strong fascination with pornography from a young age. Despite denying all 26 charges against him, including sexually assaulting a child over a period of eight years, Westwood was found guilty by the jurors at Wolverhampton Crown Court in central England.
The court was told about two teenage girls who had approached Westwood for help with their acting careers, only to be systematically abused by him. It is believed that the actor used his fame and influence to manipulate and abuse these two 16-year-old girls. From November 2020 to September 2021, Westwood raped and sexually assaulted a student who was attending drama school, and even went as far as inciting her to engage in sexual activity. He warned her to keep quiet about their encounters, and when she expressed a desire to stop taking acting lessons from him, he made her sign a contract stating that she owed him up to £36,000 if she broke the agreement.
The abuse of the second teenage girl took place between May and August 2021. Prosecutors revealed that Westwood had shown her a script from a scene in Greek mythology, and convinced her to strip naked. He then proceeded to touch her inappropriately, causing her immense trauma and distress.
The court also heard about Westwood's repeated sexual assault of a child between 2010 and 2018. This was described as an "extraordinary catalogue of abuse" that happened hundreds of times. Additionally, the actor was also convicted of inciting a young boy, aged between nine and 10, to take part in sexual activity.
Westwood's sentencing is set to take place in February of next year. This case serves as a reminder that fame and influence do not excuse or justify such heinous acts, and that justice will prevail for the victims of sexual assault.
