Noel Clarke to appear in court charged with sexual offences

Actor Noel Clarke is set to appear in court charged with sexual offences against five women. The 50-year-old from Kensington, central London, faces two counts of sexual assault, three of voyeurism and one of exposure, alleged to have taken place between 2007 and 2016.

The offences are alleged to have occurred in London and Dorset. Clarke, known for his roles in Doctor Who and Star Trek Into Darkness, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Background and Career

Clarke received critical acclaim for writing, directing and starring in the teen crime drama films Kidulthood, Adulthood and Brotherhood. The charges were brought after an investigation that began in September 2025.

Following the announcement of the charges in September, Detective Superintendent Mike Cagney said: "The women connected to these charges continue to receive support from specially trained officers."

Statements from Authorities

Cagney urged anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to contact police, adding: "The information you provide will be dealt with in the utmost sensitivity and we have trained investigators on hand to support you."

Bethan David, deputy chief Crown prosecutor for CPS London, said: "The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Noel Clarke with two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism and one count of exposure."

David confirmed the charges follow allegations made by five women in connection to sexual misconduct that took place between 2007 and 2016. She stated: "Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to do so."

Legal Proceedings

The CPS has worked closely with the Metropolitan Police during the investigation. David reminded the public that proceedings are now active and the defendant has the right to a fair trial, adding: "It is vital that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
