The mother of one of Alexander Westwood's alleged sexual assault victims believed she owed him £18,000 for his acting classes after she withdrew her due to being told she was being sexually abused. 

The teenager attended lessons at the former BBC Doctors actor's flat alone in 2021 and claims she was forced to have sex during lessons and filmed naked on Westwood's iPad.

Westwood, 24, of Holyhead Road, is standing trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court accused of 26 charges of sexual assault against two children and former pupils of his acting school, including rape. 

The jury of seven men and five women watched excerpts of one of his pupil's police interviews where she accused him of repeatedly sexually assaulting her.
