    Poco Lee formally charged in the U.K. with five alleged sexual offences

    Nigerian dancer Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Odinaka, has been formally charged with five alleged sexual offences in the United Kingdom.

    The charges, confirmed by Snaresbrook Crown Court in London, include two counts of rape, attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration.

    The court has placed a reporting restriction on the case to protect the complainant’s anonymity under the Sexual Offences Amendment Act 1992.

    Poco Lee is due back at Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 15, 2026, for plea and trial preparation.

    The case follows earlier reports concerning allegations against the dancer. His management and legal representatives have previously urged the public to allow the legal process to take its course.

    Poco Lee has not been convicted of any offence, and the charges remain allegations.
