AN actor accused of multiple sex offences against women and children told a court he did nothing sexually inappropriate.
Alexander Westwood, 24, who appeared in Netflix drama Sex Education, denied sexually assaulting one girl over a seven-year period.
Jurors heard how he wrote to one alleged victim: “I am sorry for acting in a predatory way.”
Westwood, of Albrighton, Shrops, said his dad made him write it and he did not mean “predatory in a sexual way”.
Westwood, who also appeared in BBC’s Doctors, also denied sexually abusing a pupil in one of his acting lessons.
He told Wolverhampton crown court: “I did make an inappropriate comment, but it was not sexual.”
Prosecutor Andrew Wallace said: “He wrote letters, in his own words, describing himself as a predatory.
“He wrote to his victim ‘first and foremost I apologise’ now he is accusing her of being a liar.
“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 denies all 26 charges faced, including several counts of rape.
The trial continues.
