Netflix Actor Alexander Westwood Convicted of 26 Sexual Offenses

The 24-year-old used his position as an acting teacher to sexually abuse teenage students and children, with sentencing set for February 2025.

Alexander Westwood, who appeared in Netflix's 'Sex Education,' was found guilty of 26 charges, including rape and sexual abuse of minors.
The actor exploited his role as an acting coach to abuse two 16-year-old students, coercing them into inappropriate and abusive situations under the guise of acting lessons.
Prosecutors described Westwood as 'manipulative' and 'predatory,' citing years of systematic abuse, including incidents dating back to his own childhood.
One victim was forced to sign a coercive contract requiring her to attend 365 lessons or face financial penalties of up to £36,000 ($72,000).
Westwood's crimes included additional offenses against a young girl he abused for seven years and inciting a 9-year-old boy to engage in sexual activity.
