An actor accused of sexually abusing students demanded £18,000 for missed classes

Mother of one of the alleged Alexander Westwoods sexual assault victims believed she owed him £18,000 for his acting classes after she withdrew it because she was told she was being sexually exploited.

The teenager attended lessons at the former BBC Doctors actress living alone in an apartment in 2021 and claims she was forced to have sex during class and was filmed naked on Westwood’s iPad.

Westwood, 24, of Holyhead Road, appears in court at Wolverhampton Crown Court for 26 counts of sexual assault against two children and former students of his acting school, including rape.

The jury of seven men and five women watched excerpts from one of his student’s police interrogations in which she accused him of repeated sexual assaults.
