A 24-year old British actor, Alexander Westwood was sentenced to 15 and a half years in prison for 26 offenses, including rape and sexual assault, according to the BBC; the actor is most noted for working as background on Netflix’s series “Sex Education.” Westwood has denied all of the accusations, but a jury in December found him guilty. On 11 counts, his sentence was cut in half because he was underage when those particular offenses were committed. In his sentencing remarks, the judge said Westwood had used his “minor celebrity status to prey on impressionable, innocent, young girls.” According to IMDB; he was credited in 17 episodes of “Sex Education” as a background student, as well as with two minor uncredited appearances on the UK drama
