The Crown Prosecution Service has confirmed that the sexual offence case involving Nigerian dancer Poco Lee remains active in the UK, with his plea and trial preparation hearing scheduled for September 15, 2026, at Snaresbrook Crown Court.
The CPS said the case is “still live” despite online reports claiming he had been released and the complainant had withdrawn. Poco Lee faces five sexual offence charges: attempted rape, two counts of rape and two counts of assault by penetration. He has not been convicted, and allegations remain undetermined by the court.
Key Points:
The case continues, with court proceedings set to determine the allegations.
Online release claims remain unverified by UK authorities.
A reporting restriction protects the complainant’s anonymity under UK law.
Poco Lee faces potential career disruption while the case remains unresolved.
The outcome may set a precedent for Nigerian entertainers facing legal issues abroad.
The hearing proceeds on September 15. Nigerians should rely on official court updates rather than unverified social media claims.. The X – Instagram. Video Here.
