UPDATE ON POCO LEE CASE

Fresh reports are circulating online linking a 13-year-old girl and other individuals to the ongoing controversy surrounding Nigerian dancer and entertainer Poco Lee.

However, these claims have not been independently confirmed by the UK court or reliable reporting. What has been confirmed is that Poco Lee is facing five sexual-offence charges in the UK — including two counts of rape, attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration.

His management has urged the public not to treat allegations as proof of guilt and specifically warned against spreading details that are not part of the charges before the court.

The case remains before the court, with Poco Lee due back at Snaresbrook Crown Court on September 15
