Actor Noel Clarke Arrested by Police Over Alleged Sexual Offences

Actor Noel Clarke, known for his roles in Doctor Who and Kidulthood, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police on February 10, 2026, on suspicion of attempted rape, sexual assault by touching, and exposure. The allegations relate to a sexual offence that allegedly occurred in 2007 in London involving a woman in her 20s. Clarke was interviewed by detectives at Islington police station and subsequently bailed pending further investigation. He had previously been arrested in September 2025 in connection with a voyeurism allegation dating back to 2013. Clarke’s career, which included acting, writing, producing, and directing, suffered a severe decline after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct in 2021, accusations he denied. He also lost a high-profile libel case against The Guardian in August 2025 and was ordered to pay significant legal costs, initially estimated at £3 million but potentially reaching £6 million. Clarke was accompanied by his wife and lawyer during the recent police interview, and the Metropolitan Police continue to investigate the allegations.
