Alexander Westwood, 24, from Albrighton in Shropshire, had denied the chargesA Sex Education star is facing jail after being found guilty of 26 sex offences - including raping a teenager during acting classes.
He also filmed one budding teen actress naked on his iPad and then tried to bill her family £18,000 for missing drama lessons after sexually abusing her. He was described in court as a 'supreme manipulator' who was obsessed with sex and used his stardom to prey on his victims. Westwood, who was said have a 'fascination' with pornography, also forced a young girl to drink his urine and repeatedly abused her during a seven-year period.
The court heard one victim was 'forced to act out the most inappropriate scenes' while another was systematically abused as she pursued her dream of going to drama college. Mr Wallace told jurors the abuse of a girl at a house in Walsall included vile actions which numbered more than the ten charges relating to her.One pupil accused him of sexual deviancy and controlling behaviour, with Westwood often telling her mother 'she should be admitted to a psychiatric hospital because she is going off the rails'.
Jurors heard how he wrote an apology to one victim, saying: 'I am sorry for acting in a predatory way.'Mr Wallace added: 'He wrote letters, in his own words, describing himself as predatory.'He continued,"I apologise for being so irresponsible inconsiderate. I apologise for everything, I really do. I cannot imagine the effect it must have had on you".'
'He would get angry and throw things - he would regularly pin me down by my wrists so I could not move.
