Alexander Westwood, 24 and from Shropshire, is charged with 26 sexual assault offences against children, including rape and forcing one youngster to read a script from Shakespeare naked.
A Sex Education star ordered an aspiring teenage performer to go topless, strip naked and handled her breasts while he gave her acting lessons, a court heard today.
In a pre-recorded interview played to the jury the youngster told how Westwood told her to strip naked to 'get into character' and forced her to put his hands on her breasts. 'For one scene he asked me to be topless. And I did. For another scene he asked me to be completely naked. The attacks on the five children began when Westwood was just 10 years old and continued until three years ago, the court heard.Opening the case against Westwood earlier this week, Crown Prosecuting Counsel, Andrew Wallace, described the actor as a 'supreme manipulator' who was engaged in 'predatory behaviour'.
