Alex Westwood, a 24-year-old actor known for his roles in Netflix's "Sex Education" and BBC's "Doctors," has been sentenced to over 15 years in prison for committing 26 sexual offenses against women and children.
Westwood's crimes spanned over a decade, with victims ranging from young girls seeking acting lessons to teenage pupils aspiring to attend drama school. He manipulated his minor celebrity status to gain the trust of his victims, subjecting them to years of systematic abuse.
During his trial, Westwood was described as a "rotten apple" and a "supreme manipulator." Judge Neil Chawla KC, who sentenced Westwood, condemned his actions as "sordid sexual criminality" and highlighted the devastating consequences his crimes had on the victims.
Westwood displayed a callous disregard for his victims throughout the trial, smirking in the dock as details of his predatory behavior were revealed. He showed no remorse and attempted to blame his victims, but the jury saw through his lies.
Three of Westwood's victims bravely faced him in court, reading statements detailing the profound impact his abuse had on their lives. Their courage stood in stark contrast to Westwood's lack of emotion, who remained unmoved as the victims and their supporters wept.
Westwood's conviction and sentence serve as a reminder of the devastating impact of sexual abuse and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. His victims' bravery in coming forward and seeking justice is a testament to their strength and resilience.

He shows no remorse whatsoever. No human being could treat another human being like that. 👿
