Prosecutor Andrew Wallace previously told the court of two teenage girls who came to Westwood for help with acting, only to be “forced to act out the most inappropriate scenes” and systematically abused over years.
Alexander Westwood, 24, was on Tuesday sentenced to more than 15 years behind bars after he was found guilty in December of 26 offences against women and children.
An actor who starred in the Netflix hit Sex Education has been jailed for committing more than two dozen sexual offences, including against two teenage girls who came to him for acting lessons.
Judge Chawla said Westwood had “distorted sexual thinking”, adding: “You have failed to show any remorse and you have shown little or no insight into the impact of your offending had on your victims.
Westwood, who also starred in the BBC series Doctors, smirked in the dock at Wolverhampton Crown Court as details of his “predatory and deviant” behaviour towards five people, four of whom were children when he abused them, were read out.
