Nigerian dancer and performer Iweh Odinaka, aka Pocolee, has been accused of five sexual crimes in the UK.
Arise News reports that Snaresbrook Crown Court in London confirmed the accusations.
The performer is charged with two counts of rape, two counts of assault by penetration, and one case of attempted rape.
According to reports, James Baker, an administrative team leader at Snaresbrook Crown Court, corroborated the accusations in a letter to Nigerian media.
Poco Lee is anticipated to enter his plea at the case’s planned plea and trial preparation hearing on September 15, 2026.
In accordance with the UK’s Sexual Offences Amendment Act 1992, the court has additionally imposed reporting limits to safeguard the complainant’s identity.
The announcement follows prior claims that the dancer was under investigation by UK police for alleged sexual offences.
At this point, though, the accusations are still merely accusations, and Poco Lee is believed innocent unless and until a court finds her guilty.

Rapper Ms Jorji has accused Poco Lee of sexual misconduct during a 2024 encounter in Dallas, Texas.
The event comes after extensive media coverage of the performer’s alleged legal issues and arrest in the UK.
Recounting the alleged incident, Ms Jorji revealed that she had accepted an invitation to Poco Lee’s flat with a female friend and that she was seeking professional advice and mentoring for her music career.
According to her, the situation allegedly escalated when the entertainer made unwanted physical advances toward her before attempting similar advances on her friend and allegedly trying to force her into a separate room.
She stated that they managed to fight off the advances, immediately exited the premises, and drove several hours back to their destination that same night.
Addressing why she stayed silent for years, the rapper explained that fear and intimidation prevented her from coming forward, adding that she doubted the public would believe her testimony against a prominent entertainment figure.
“Two years ago, Pocolee tried to rape my friend and me; we ended up beating him and pushing him off,” she said.
She also said that asking for sex in exchange for a career is common in the music industry, claiming that other people in the business have done the same thing to her
