Sex Education Star sentenced to 15 years for attacking five victims. Actor Alexander Westwood has been convicted of 26 crimes against children and pupils attending his acting tuition. He has been jailed for sex offences, including raping a schoolgirl who attended his acting lessons.

The 24-year-old is from Shropshire, has been sentenced to 15 and a half years by Judge Neil Chawla at Wolverhampton Crown Court. The actor appeared on the Netflix series ‘Sex Education’ and BBC’s ‘Doctors’ series. He was found guilty in December of multiple sexual offences against two young children, two teenage girls, and a woman. Between November 2020 and September 2021, Westwood had a relationship with an acting student of his, where he sexually assaulted her repeatedly. The actor had threatened to tell the girl’s school principal if she stopped her acting lessons with him and made her sign a contract owing him between £18,000 and £36,000 if she broke it.

11 of the sentences for Westwood’s 26 counts were reduced by half as he was a minor when the offences were committed. Judge Neil Chawla issued restraining orders with regards to all five victims and there was applause from the audience in the court when the sentencing was revealed.
