Nigerian dancer Poco Lee (real name Iweh Pascal Odinaka) is facing five sexual offence charges in the United Kingdom.
According to court information, the charges include one count of attempted rape, two counts of rape, and two counts of assault by penetration. The alleged incidents are said to have occurred in east London on 23 July 2026.
Snaresbrook Crown Court is handling the case. Poco Lee remains in custody on remand. A plea and trial preparation hearing has been scheduled for 15 September 2026. A reporting restriction is in place to protect the identity of the complainant.
Poco Lee’s management has urged the public to exercise restraint, emphasised the presumption of innocence, and clarified that certain unrelated claims circulating online are not part of the formal case.
Multiple Nigerian media outlets have verified the basic court details. As with all criminal proceedings, the accused is entitled to a fair hearing and remains innocent until proven guilty.
