Noel Clarke Denies Six Sexual Offense Charges in London Court
British actor, writer, and director Noel Clarke appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London and pleaded not guilty to six sexual offense charges. The 50-year-old faces two counts of sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism, and one count of exposure. The allegations involve five women and are said to have occurred between 2007 and 2016. Clarke entered not guilty pleas to all six charges during the hearing, confirming only his name, date of birth, and address. The charges followed a year-long investigation by London’s Metropolitan Police. The Crown Prosecution Service authorized the prosecution after reviewing a file of evidence. Clarke is known for playing Mickey Smith in ‘Doctor Who’ and for writing and appearing in the ‘Kidulthood,’ ‘Adulthood,’ and ‘Brotherhood’ films. He also co-wrote the Sky drama ‘Bulletproof’ with Ashley Walters. The court granted Clarke bail, and he is scheduled to appear next at Southwark Crown Court on November 18. The report concerns allegations and criminal charges only; a not guilty plea means Clarke denies the allegations and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
