Embattled Dancer Poco Lee’s case has been adjourned until February 2027.
Newsunplug reported that Poco Lee is facing serious legal proceedings in the United Kingdom. The dancer, who was arrested in mid-August, has been accused of sexual assault, attempted rape and assault by penetration.
He was reportedly held on remand in the United Kingdom and was scheduled to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court in London on 15 September 2026, at 10 a.m.
In an update, his scheduled hearing didn’t take place today. The prosecution read the charges against him and requested additional time to gather further evidence.
Socialite, Oluomo of Derby, in a social media post, gave an update on his case. He said the plea hearing is now expected to take place in February, 2027, after which the trial is expected to commence.
He said the dancer will typically enter a plea of either guilty, meaning he admits to the offence, or not guilty, meaning he denies the offence.
“I can confirm that the reports are true.
Poco Lee is currently on remand in a UK prison.
His next court date is scheduled for the second week of September, when he is expected to have a plea hearing. At this hearing, he will typically enter a plea of either guilty, meaning he admits to the offence, or not guilty, meaning he denies the offence.
I will also be attending the court proceedings as part of my support for the Nigerian community in the UK, to ensure that our fellow Nigerian receives the appropriate support during this difficult period of his life. Supporting members of our community in situations like this is something I do regularly, including visiting some of our community members who are currently in prison.
It is important that we allow the legal process to take its course. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
