Poco Lee’s UK plea hearing adjourned to February 2027

A United Kingdom court has adjourned the plea and trial preparation hearing involving Nigerian dancer and entertainer, Poco Lee, to February 2027.

Poco Lee, whose real name is Iweh Pascal Odinaka, was expected to appear before Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, but the hearing could not proceed because the charge sheet was unavailable.

As a result, he did not enter a plea to the charges against him.

The court subsequently fixed February 8, 2027, for the next plea and trial preparation hearing, when Poco Lee is expected to indicate whether he is guilty or not guilty.

His trial has also been scheduled to commence on March 8, 2027.

Poco Lee is facing five sexual offence charges, including two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and two counts of assault by penetration. The allegations relate to an incident reportedly said to have occurred in Tower Hamlets, east London, in July 2026.

The entertainer was previously granted bail following an earlier appearance before the UK court.

Poco Lee has denied the allegations against him.

The latest development means the case will now continue into 2027, with the court expected to hear his plea in February before the trial begins the following month.
