Westwood, 24, was found guilty of 26 charges of sexual abuse and rape at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Tuesday (December 10) after a four week trial.

The actor will be sentenced for his crimes on February 25 and can expect to spend up to 15 years in prison. 

However, Westwood was granted bail until his sentencing in February which means he is a free man until finding out his fate next year.

One of his victims, who cannot be named, told the Express & Star: "It was bad enough knowing he was living his life as if nothing had happened during the trial but now he is a convicted rapist he should be in jail.
