The Snaresbrook Crown Court in the UK has confirmed that Iweh Pascal Odinaka, the Nigerian dancer popularly known as ‘Poco Lee’, will be arraigned for alleged rape on September 15.
The London-based court confirmed the case in a correspondence with TheCable Lifestyle on Tuesday.
In response to an inquiry, James Baker, the court’s admin team lead, confirmed that the matter is official and that Poco Lee’s case is listed for plea and trial preparation before one of its 20 courtrooms.
The court admin also disclosed that the defendant is being charged with “attempted rape, two counts of rape, and two counts of assault by penetration”.
“I can confirm that this case is currently listed at Snaresbrook Crown Court for plea and trial preparation on the 15th September 2026,” the response reads.
The court, however, maintained that Poco Lee remains innocent of the allegations until he is arraigned, tried and found guilty.
The confirmation of Poco Lee’s forthcoming arraignment comes a week after reports of his arrest in the UK surfaced online.
On Monday, TG Omori and Rahman Jago, two associates of Poco Lee, reacted to the reports.
Omori expressed sadness over Poco Lee’s situation, describing him as one of the “purest souls” he had ever met.
“It breaks my heart to hear Poco Lee in this sort of mess. That’s the purest soul I have ever met. The devil really works overtime,” he wrote. Cable
