S£x Education actor Alexander Westwood jailed for 15 years for 26 s£x attacks on aspiring actresses and children

An actor who appeared in Netflix’s S£x Education has been jailed for 15-and-a-half years after being convicted of s£x crimes against women and children.

Alexander Westwood, who also starred in BBC’s Doctors, was found guilty of 26 sex offences – including r@ping a teenage girl during acting classes.
The 24-year-old actor was found to have committed a string of depraved sex offences – dating back to when he was just ten.

A court heard Westwood forced pupils in his drama class to read Shakespeare and engage in role-play scenarios n@ked.

He also filmed one aspiring actress naked on his iPad, before trying to bill her family for £18,000 when she started missing his lessons after he s£xually abused her.

The warped s£x offender would also create sick ‘game shows’ with children, forcing them to watch pornography and undress.

Westwood, who starred in 17 episodes of Netflix’s Sex Education, was described as a ‘supreme manipulator’ who used his stardom to prey on victims ‘out of habit’.

He was convicted at Wolverhampton Crown Court in December and jailed at the same court today to applause from the public gallery.

He will spend four years on licence after he is releasand ed, was given a 26-year restraining order from all his victims, and a s£xual harm order for the same amount of time.

Prosecutor Andrew Wallace KC said ‘sexual predator’ Westwood could have been charged with 77 serious s£xual ass@ults but for ease of sentencing they had been reduced to 26 counts.

His trial heard how he sexually abused one girl multiple times, also abused a boy and r@ped a teenage actress.

The first of the 26 sex offences relates to his tenth birthday – the age at which criminality begins in the UK – when one victim was aged just six.

Westwood, who had a ‘fascination’ with pornography, also forced a girl to drink his urine during a seven-year campaign of abuse.

Mr Wallace said: ‘Following a lengthy trial the defendant was found guilty of a catalogue of crimes and is therefore not subject to any credit.

‘In fact, he called his victims liars in a pre-sentence report, which is regrettable. ‘He is the product of poor parenting and pornography. He was watching pornography on his father’s laptop before the age of 10.

‘The pre-sentence report shows the defendant regularly showed totally inappropriate s£xualised behaviour at a young age.

‘He is a serial sexual predator, particularly targeting children. Four of his victims were children at the time. This is abuse on a huge scale.

‘He could have been sentenced to 77 serious sexual assaults, but that would have been unwieldy to sentence.

‘It is worrying how much planning went into this offending, none of which has become remorse. He went to so much effort which is very worrying.

‘He would not have been to able to commit some of these crimes unless he had set himself up as a teacher, which is a breach of trust.

‘He is a significant risk to the public. He has a flagrant disregard for his victims.’
